The Asian-American Experience

This title amasses a rich array of primary sources to tell the history of Asian Americans from their own perspectives and in their own words. Drawing on the exhaustive research of the Asian American Studies Center at UCLA, it chronicles the Asian-American experience from pre-historic Asian/North American migrations up to the works of contemporary Asian-American artists and writers. Religion and spirituality, Filipino immigration, and the culture of South Asians and Pacific Islanders come to life in texts, graphics, and oral histories.
