Paperback. Condición: New. Asians have migrated to North America for centuries, in search of opportunities and conveyed by increasingly dense, international circuits of trade, labor markets, and family networks. Drawn by the riches promised by the relatively undeveloped, but not unpopulated, New World, Asians joined a diverse array of immigrants arriving in capacities such as merchants, farmers, fishermen, soldiers, missionaries, artists and artisans, industrial and agricultural laborers, technicians and scientists, journalists, sailors, diplomats, tourists, bankers, students, and entrepreneurs of every stripe. They contributed significantly to the massive transformation of the United States into the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world, particularly on the west coast and Hawaii. Unlike their European counterparts, however, Asians challenged American conceptions of racial homogeneity and national culture which produced legislative and institutional efforts to segregate them through immigration laws, restrictions on citizenship, and limits on employment, property ownership, access to public services, and civil rights. Only with World War II, the Cold War, and the Civil Rights era's remaking of racial ideologies and forging of a more egalitarian, multiethnic democracy Asian Americans have gained ground and acceptance, albeit in the still stereotyped category of 'model minorities'. Asian American History: A Very Short Introduction provides a narrative interpretation of key themes that emerge in the history of Asian migrations to North America. Clearly written and elegantly argued, this book complements typical American history narratives by highlighting how Asian immigration has shaped the evolution of ideological and legal interpretations of America as a 'nation of immigrants'.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A 2012 survey by the Pew Research Center reported that Asian Americans are the best-educated, highest-income, and best-assimilated racial group in the United States. Before reaching this level of economic success and social assimilation, however, Asian immigrants' path was full of difficult, even demeaning, moments. This book provides a sweeping and nuanced history of Asian Americans, revealing how and why the perception of Asian immigrants changed overtime.Asian migrants, in large part Chinese, arrived in significant numbers on the West Coast during the 1850s and 1860s to work in gold mining and on the construction of the transcontinentalRailroad. Unlike their contemporary European counterparts, Asians, often stigmatized as "coolies," challenged American ideals of equality with the problem of whether all racial groups could be integrated into America's democracy. The fear of the "Yellow Peril" soon spurred an array of legislative and institutional efforts to segregate them through immigration laws, restrictions on citizenship, and limits on employment, property ownership, access to public services, and civil rights. Prejudicesagainst Asian Americans reached a peak during World War II, when Japanese Americans were interned en masse. It was only with changes in the immigration laws and the social and political activism of the1960s and 1970s that Asian Americans gained ground and acceptance, albeit in the still stereotyped category of "model minorities."Madeline Y. Hsu weaves a fascinating historical narrative of this "American Dream." She shows how Asian American success, often attributed to innate cultural values, is more a result of the immigration laws, which have largely pre-selected immigrants of high economic and social potential. Asian Americans have, in turn, been used by politiciansto bludgeon newer (and more populous) immigrant groups for their purported lack of achievement. Hsu deftly reveals how public policy, which can restrict and also selectively promote certain immigrantpopulations, is a key reason why some immigrant groups appear to be more naturally successful and why the identity of those groups evolves differently from others. A nuanced history of Asian Americans from the Gold Rush to the present Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Condición: As New. : Este libro ofrece una historia completa y matizada de los estadounidenses de origen asiático, revelando cómo y por qué cambió la percepción de los inmigrantes asiáticos con el tiempo. Los inmigrantes asiáticos, en gran parte chinos, llegaron en cantidades significativas a la costa oeste durante las décadas de 1850 y 1860 para trabajar en la minería de oro y en la construcción del ferrocarril transcontinental. A diferencia de sus contemporáneos europeos, los asiáticos, a menudo estigmatizados como "coolies", desafiaron los ideales estadounidenses de igualdad con el problema de si todos los grupos raciales podían integrarse en la democracia estadounidense. El miedo al "Peligro Amarillo" pronto impulsó una serie de esfuerzos legislativos e institucionales para segregarlos a través de leyes de inmigración, restricciones a la ciudadanía y límites al empleo, la propiedad, el acceso a los servicios públicos y los derechos civiles. Los prejuicios contra los estadounidenses de origen asiático alcanzaron su punto máximo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando los estadounidenses de origen japonés fueron internados en masa. Fue solo con los cambios en las leyes de inmigración y el activismo social y político de las décadas de 1960 y 1970 que los estadounidenses de origen asiático ganaron terreno y aceptación, aunque en la todavía estereotipada categoría de "minorías modelo".
