Anyone who cares about Asian Americansindeed, who is interested in the dynamics of diversityshould be interested in this detailed critique. Very highly recommended. Frank H. Wu, author of Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White Through a compelling analysis of white racism experienced by Asian Americans in their everyday lives, Chou and Feagin offer a powerful examination of the psychological and emotional burdens imposed by racism in contemporary society. Leland T. Saito, University of Southern California Most Americans believe Asian Americans are content, do not suffer from discrimination, and are all in the path to whiteness. Bravo to the authors for bringing to the fore the racial oppression endured by Asian Americans! Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University This book captures how individual Asian Americans encounter racial hostility and discrimination in a variety of social and institutional spaces, and the distinct ways they strategically respond to such treatment. Some respondents resign themselves to situations while others challenge and actively resist stereotyping, inequitable treatment, and harassment. But as Chou and Feagin convincingly argue, all are both blessed and cursed with the double consciousness shaped by a pervasive white racial frame. Michael Omi, University of CaliforniaBerkeley As an often invisible and silent minority, Asian Americans can at last find voice in this brilliant book that recognizes the reality of their experience. The courage, nobility, and honesty of the authors will assist all involved in the struggle for equity and inclusion. Edna B. Chun, Broward Community College This work can be a powerful contribution to sociology and ethnic studies courses. the power of this book is in its simplicity. The careful documentation of Asian American voices provides rich data and clearly demonstrates the existence and persistence of anti-Asian racism. Journal of American Ethnic History
