This review is from: The New Face of Asian Pacific America: Numbers, Diversity, and Change in the 21st Century (Hardcover)
This book should have been used in my Asian American Studies 101 class in college. It's comprehensive and informative. Thoroughly readable and enjoyable to boot. If you're tired of ideology and want the facts, get this book.

This review is from: The New Face of Asian Pacific America: Numbers, Diversity, and Change in the 21st Century (Hardcover)
A great book for anyone interested in learning about the demographics of the Asian and Pacific Islander population. It's probably the most comprehensive demographic book ever written using the latest Census data. I know first-hand that this organization is also a great resource center on getting even more customized Asian and Pacific Islander data. If you haven't seen this book, I recommend you check it out at the bookstore and you will definitely find it worthwhile.
