Contemporary Asian American Communities

"Linda Vo and Rick Bonus identify the importance of 'everyday spaces' as critical sites for understanding changes occurring in Asian Pacific American communities. Essays in this book cover a wide range of topics, including youth, ethnically diverse populations, professional sectors, gays and lesbians, the urban poor, and multiracial communities. The editors stimulate and provoke new thinking about the ways that our communities are responding to developments in politics, technology, and cultural production."-Glenn Omatsu, Associate Editor, Amerasia Journal, UCLA Asian American Studies Center, and co-editor of Asian Americans: The Movement and Moment "The strength of this book is its emphasis on specific case studies that shed light on concrete dimensions of Asian America, and in this way, Vo and Bonus bring fresh tangibility to the lived experiences of Asian Americans."-The Journal of American Ethnic History "The book delivers on its promise to demonstrate the diversity of Asian American culture by offering a veritable fest of material dealing with many aspects of the cultural experiences of Asian Americans."-Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare "This collection makes for an interesting read and can be useful for undergraduate instruction."-Social Forces
