Asian American Identity: Racial and Ethnic Identity Issues in the Twenty-First Century

"The notion of who Asian Americans are as a group has vastly shifted from the time the 1965 Immigration Act was passed. The definition of who is fit for inclusion within the Asian American category has been contested in recent years, and this book explores the experiences of those categorized as such at the dawn of the 21st century. Beyond the scope of how people are defined and categorized by the state, the central question explored in this book addresses how individuals themselves define what it means to be Asian American."--BOOK JACKET.Philip, Cheri L. is the author of 'Asian American Identity: Racial and Ethnic Identity Issues in the Twenty-First Century', published 2007 under ISBN 9781934043622 and ISBN 1934043621.
