Reviews

By drawing from history, American studies, theater, sociology, and cultural studies, this anthology echoes, in form and content, the interdisciplinary nature of Asian American Studies. Asian Americans in New England charts a new course for the field, bringing local accents, national debates, and global identities into the conversation. "New England Quarterly""

Significant scholarship has recently emerged that moves the interdisciplinary field of Asian American studies away from its earlier emphasis on the West Coast. Asian Americans in New England can be envisioned as such an effort, enlarging the historical, social, and cultural scope of Asian America to include New England. Importantly, the book also affirms that this inclusion entails a more radical realignment of the field, rather than the simple addition of new spaces and subjects for analysis. "American Studies""
