Sinopsis
In an extraordinary blend of narrative history, personal recollection, and oral testimony, comes this sweeping history of Asian Americans.
In this expansive book, Ronald Takaki writes of the Chinese who laid tracks for the transcontinental railroad, of plantation laborers in the canefields of Hawaii, of "picture brides" marrying strangers in the hope of becoming part of the American dream. He tells stories of Japanese Americans behind the barbed wire of U.S. internment camps during World War II, Hmong refugees tragically unable to adjust to Wisconsin's alien climate & culture, and Asian American students stigmatized by the stereotype of the "model minority." This powerful and moving work will resonate for all Americans, who together make up a nation of immigrants from other shores."Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
