This comprehensive anthology, arranged in four parts and featuring a stellar group of contributors, summarizes and defines the current shape of this rapidly changing field, addressing topics such as transnationalism, U.S. imperialism, multiracial identity, racism, immigration, citizenship, social justice, and pedagogy. Jean Yu-wen Shen Wu and Thomas C. Chen have selected essays for the significance of their contribution to the field and their clarity, brevity, and accessibility to readers with little to no prior knowledge of Asian American studies. Featuring both reprints of seminal articles and groundbreaking texts, as well as bold new scholarship, Asian American Studies Now addresses the new circumstances, new communities, and new concerns that are reconstituting Asian America.Asian AmericansHistoryAsian AmericansSocial conditionsAmerican literatureAsian American authorsAsian AmericansHistory.Asian AmericansSocial conditions.American literatureAsian American authors.973/.0495Wu Jean Yu-wen Shen1948-1568460Chen Thomas C1498014MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788373003321Asian American studies now3840606UNINA
