Asian American Histories of the United States
Asian American Histories of the United States | Catherine Ceniza Choy
1 post | 2 to read
An inclusive and landmark history, emphasizing how essential Asian American experiences are to any understanding of US history Original and expansive, Asian American Histories of the United States is a nearly 200-year history of Asian migration, labor, and community formation in the US. Reckoning with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in anti-Asian hate and violence, award-winning historian Catherine Ceniza Choy presents an urgent social history of the fastest growing group of Americans. The book features the lived experiences and diverse voices of immigrants, refugees, US-born Asian Americans, multiracial Americans, and workers from industries spanning agriculture to healthcare. Despite significant Asian American breakthroughs in American politics, arts, and popular culture in the twenty-first century, a profound lack of understanding of Asian American history permeates American culture. Choy traces how anti-Asian violence and its intersection with misogyny and other forms of hatred, the erasure of Asian American experiences and contributions, and Asian American resistance to what has been omitted are prominent themes in Asian American history. This ambitious book is fundamental to understanding the American experience and its existential crises of the early twenty-first century.

Finally got this one done. I received it quite awhile ago, but I was too busy to read it. It's my only hardcover ARC, and it's not even marked ARC so it's just a straight up copy of the book. Actually I have two, because Penguin does their distribution and 2 different divisions sent it. Potential giveaway??

I'm calling it my first FRC read of the year, although I should really just shove all these Jordan L. Hawk books into categories.
