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 America, spanning nearly 200 years.

This book provides an inclusive and expansive account of Asian American experiences, highlighting their essential role in shaping US history.

With a focus on the lived experiences and diverse voices of immigrants, refugees, US-born Asian Americans, multiracial Americans, and workers from various industries, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the fastest growing group of Americans.

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

This book traces the intersection of anti-Asian violence, erasure of experiences, and resistance to omission, shedding light on the existential crises of the early 21st century.

With an impressive array of historical events, sharply drawn profiles of individual Asian Americans, and a detailed recounting of Asian American histories rarely found in textbooks, this book is an essential reconsideration of American history.
