Before 50 years, Asian People in america have helped change the face of America and are now the most effective growing group in the United States. The Making of Asian America says the little-known record of Asian People in america and their role in American life, from the entrance of the first Asians in the Americas to the present-day. An epic record of global journeys and new beginnings, this publication shows how years of Asian immigrants and their American-born descendants have made and remade Asian American life in the United States. In the sailors who came up on the first trans-Pacific ships in the 1500s to the China, Japan, Filipino, Korean, and South Asian immigrants who had been recruited to work in the United States, only to face considerable racial discrimination, and from the Asian exclusion regulations of the 19th hundred years to Japanese American incarceration during World Conflict II, this is a comprehensive history. Over the past 50 years, a new Asian America has surfaced out of community activism and the entrance of new immigrants and refugees. No more a "despised minority", Asian People in america are now held up as America's "model minorities" with techniques that reveal the complicated role that competition still plays in the United States. Shared to commemorate the 50th wedding anniversary of the passing of the United State governments' Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which has remade our "nation of immigrants", this is a new and definitive record of Asian People in america. But more than that, it is a new way of understanding America itself, its complicated histories of competition and immigration, and its own place in the world today.
