Reviews

Few empirical studies had been done on Asian Americans in terms of personal experiences, cultural and ethnic identity, social status and economic conditions in the mainstream white society before this collection of 15 autobiographical essays....The most significant value of this collection is that it brings to light several common issues: racial prejudice and discrimination, interest in and criticism of ethnic subcultures, assimilation, and the search for one's ethnic identity.--Suping Lu Multicultural Review
