Strangers from a Different Shore : A History of Asian Americans Au of
Takaki, Ronald
Boston: Back Bay Books. September 23, 1. Paperback. Near Fine. Chinese immigrants to the U.S. in the 19th century were transformed into ou tsiders by racism and economic exploitation. This pattern, Takaki shows, wo uld be imposed on other Asian immigrant groups. Filipinos, condescended to as "little brown brothers" by whites in the Philippines, became targets of violent white backlash once they emigrated to the U.S.; Indians were feared and persecuted as labor competition; Japanese- Americans withdrew into self -contained communities. Takaki, descended from a Japanese-American family w ho labored on Hawaiian plantations, and now an ethnic studies professor at UC Berkeley, has written a vibrant, rich history that gives back a voice to countless "invisible Americans." His broad, multi-ethnic survey is peopled with real individuals, allowing us to experience their loneliness, separat ion from families, struggles for survival. Later chapters cover the internm ent of Japanese-Americans during WW II and the post-1965 "second wave" of A sian immigrants that included Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians.
