Zustand: 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".

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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 andHawaii. 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, multiethnicdemocracy 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.
