The Making of Asian America: A History

In the last fifty years, Asian Americans have become the fastest growing group in the United States. But as award-winning historian Erika Lee reminds us, they also have deep roots in the country. An epic history of global journeys and new beginnings, The Making of Asian America is a new and definitive history of Asian Americans that shows how generations of Asian immigrants and their American-born descendants have transformed the United States. But more than that, it is a new way of understanding America itself, its complicated histories of race and immigration, and its place in the world today.
