Explores the political developments that gave rise to the term “Asian America” in the 1960s and investigates theoretical questions about the complexities and pluralities of the contemporary Asian American experience. Examines Asian American political participation around current issues such as immigration and migration patterns, intragroup coalitions, racial stereotypes, data disaggregation, political representation, voting patterns, policy preferences, and more. Considers the role of American political institutions—including federal, state, and local governments—and how public policies at all levels shape the political lives of Asian Americans in the United States.
