Asian American Histories of the United States: Revisioning History

Asian American Histories of the United States is a groundbreaking and comprehensive history of Asian migration, labor, and community formation in the US, spanning nearly 200 years.

This book provides an urgent and essential social history of the fastest growing group of Americans, featuring the lived experiences and diverse voices of immigrants, refugees, US-born Asian Americans, multiracial Americans, and workers from industries such as agriculture to healthcare.

Despite significant breakthroughs in American politics, arts, and popular culture in the 21st century, a profound lack of understanding of Asian American history permeates American culture.

This book traces how anti-Asian violence and its intersection with misogyny and other forms of hatred, the erasure of Asian American experiences and contributions, and Asian American resistance to what has been omitted are prominent themes in Asian American history.

With a focus on inclusivity and landmark history, this book is fundamental to understanding the American experience and its existential crises of the early 21st century.
