Asian Americans are widely believed to be passive and compliant
participants in the U.S. political process -- if they participate
at all. In this ground-breaking book, Pei-te Lien maps the actions
and strategies of Asian Americans as they negotiate a space in the
American political arena.
Professor Lien looks at political participation by Asian
Americans prior to 1965 and examines, at both organizational and
mass-politics levels, how race, ethnicity, and transnationalism
help to construct a complex American electorate. She looks not only
at rates of participation among Asian Americans as compared with
Blacks, Latinos, American Indians, and non-Hispanic whites, but
also among specific groups of Asian Americans -- Chinese, Japanese,
Filipinos, Koreans, Asian Indians, and Vietnamese. She also
discusses how gender, socioeconomic class, and place of birth
affect political participation.
With documentation ranging from historical narrative to opinion
survey data, Professor Lien creates a picture of a diverse group of
politically active people who are intent on carving out a place for
themselves in American political life.
