As the United States wrestles with the rising tide of hate crimes, Asian Americans have been disproportionately victimized. From the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to contemporary attempts to restrict Asian land ownership, Asian Americans continue to be regarded as different, aliens in their own country. Why are they still regarded as outsiders, despite their scientific, cultural and other contributions to U.S. society? This book exposes the origin and current perceptions of myths and stereotypes about Asian Americans, with a look at prospects for their recognition and acceptance by the dominant white society.
