Asian American Panethnicity cover

Explores the construction of large-scale affiliations, in which unrelated groups submerge their differences and assume a common identity. Making use of interviews and statistical data, this book examines how Asian panethnicity protects the rights and interests of all Asian American groups.A case study of how cultural diversity among Asian Americans is subsumed for social and political advantage

"Original and stimulating.... [Espiritu's] study raises compelling questions about the existing literature on ethnicity and her findings open up new avenues for research and analysis."
Michael Omi, University of California, Berkeley, co-author of Racial Formation in the U.S. from the 1960s to the 1980s
