When Asians began to immigrate to the United States in the 1800s, they met with both gratitude for the labor they provided and mistrust for their culture, which was unfamiliar to Americans. This two-volume set traces the turbulent history of Asian Americans from their first arrival to the present day. After an introduction to each chapter, A-Z entries identify people, places, events, and terms to give a complete picture to students researching all aspects of Asian American history.

During the 1800s, hard times in China and other Asian countries prompted the first wave of immigration to the United States. This volume covers the immigration of Chinese workers to California during the gold rush and railroad construction boom, as well as the immigration of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Korean people to work at plantations in Hawaii. Despite their hard work, they were denied many basic rights and struggled to survive. Students will learn how Asian immigrants were excluded and discriminated against, and how they began their long battle against these obstacles.

In the 20th century, Asian Americans continued to face the challenge of racial inequality. They were often denied basic rights as citizens, and many were forced into internment camps during World War II. The impact of this war on Asian Americans, as well as the repercussions of the Korean and Vietnam wars, is examined. This volume covers the fight of Asian Americans against such oppression, including the rise of Pan-Asian movements.
