Imagining Asia in the Americas

"Imagining Asia in the Americas brings fresh ideas and scholarship to the field. Using oral histories and personal experience, the essays in this volume convey a level of intimacy missing from other collections on the Asian diaspora." - Jerry García (author of Looking Like the Enemy: Japanese Mexicans, the Mexican State, and U.S. Hegemony) "This excellent volume is a welcome addition to the research on Asians in the Americas. The essays break new ground in this scant area of research, building on the currently small number of voices of Asians coming out of these regions." - Karen Kuo (author of East is West and West is East) "From Coolitude to Sinalidad, Imagining Asia in the Americas boldly charts intersecting diasporas, borders, languages and continents to remap the complex history of Asian descent peoples in the New World." - Allan Punzalan Isaac (author of American Tropics: Articulating Filipino America)
