As America's ethnically diverse foreign-born population, Asian Americans can puzzle political observers. This title employs a variety of methodologies - including quantitative, ethnographic, and historical - to illustrate how transnational ties between the US and Asia have shaped, and are defining, Asian American politics in multicultural society.Discusses Asian Americans as a force for political change on both sides of the Pacific
“The book conveys the sense that there is something dynamic, complex and compelling at work here when considering the transnational dimension of Asian American political lives. The reader is left with a sense as well that in looking at these questions for Asian Americans one is getting at least a glimpse at issues that will apply to a growing number of immigrant Americans from reaches other than Asia.”—Paul Watanabe, Director of the Institute for Asian American Studies, University of Massachusetts, Boston
