Sommario/riassunto

The last half century witnessed a dramatic change in the geographic,  ethnographic, and socioeconomic structure of Asian American communities.  While traditional enclaves were strengthened by waves of recent  immigrants, native-born Asian Americans also created new urban and  suburban areas. Asian America is the first comprehensive look at  post-1960s Asian American communities in the United States and Canada.  Contributors from an array of academic fields focus on global views of  Asian American communities as well as on territorial and cultural  boundaries.
