Fighting Invisibility

Asian Americans in the Midwest

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Fighting Invisibility examines how post-1950s Midwest Asian Americans navigate identity and belonging, racism, educational settings, resources within co-ethnic communities, and pan-ethnic cultural community. Through the lens of Midwest Asian America, this book aims to disrupt—and expand beyond—the existing privileged narratives in United States and Asian American history.
