a pop history of Asian America from the nineties to now

"'RISE' is a love letter to and for Asian Americans--a vivid scrapbook of voices, emotions, and memories from an era in which [their] culture was forged and transformed, and a way to preserve both the headlines and the intimate conversations that have shaped [their] community into who [they] are today"--Provided by publisherWhen the Hart-Celler Act passed in 1965, opening up U.S. immigration to non-Europeans, it ushered in a whole new era of Asian American socio-political shifts. Yang, Yo, and Wang have created a love letter to and for Asian Americans, providing a vivid scrapbook of voices, emotions, and memories from an era in which their culture was forged and transformed. They include interviews and contributions from major Asian American cultural icons and artists, creating a celebration of shared experiences highlighting the different ways in which we have chosen to come together. -- adapted from wrap-around
