Asian American Politics: Law, Participation, and Policy edited by Don T. Nakanishi and James S. Lai [in AsianWeek]
A comprehensive overview of the history of Asian American politics, from the early historical cases of the first Asian immigrants against exclusion, to significant immigration law changes in 1924 (which virtually shut down Asian immigration) and 1965 (which finally opened Asian immigration after nearly a century), to Civil Rights-era APA participation, to today’s political challenges.
