HOW PUBLIC-POLICY REFORMS SHAPE, AND REVEAL THE SHAPE OF, ASIAN AMERICA; About the Contributors; IndexOnce thought of in terms of geographically bounded spaces, Asian America has undergone profound changes as a result of post-1965 immigration as well as the growth and reshaping of established communities. This collection of original essays demonstrates that conventional notions of community, of ethnic enclaves determined by exclusion and ghettoization, now have limited use in explaining the dynamic processes of contemporary community formation.
