Asian American Histories of the United States (2022)
by Catherine Ceniza Choy
Asian American Histories of the United States chronicles some of the complexity of the Asian American experience over the past 150 years. Choy uses “histories”, not the singular “history”, noting that there is no one starting point for Asian Americans as various groups migrated at different times and under different circumstances. Each chapter offers a different starting point in history from which we might learn the when, where, and why people of Asian ancestry became part of U.S. history – 1968, 1965, 1953, 1942, 1919, 1875 and 1869.
Catherine Ceniza Choy, the daughter of Filipino immigrants, is a Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to moving to Berkeley, she was an assistant professor of American Studies at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (1998 to 2004) and a cofounding member of the Asian American Studies Initiative.
Library Availability: Ebooks, audiobooks and books available at Anoka County Library and Hennepin County Library.
