Immigrants Run the Restaurants

Jessica M. Frazier. Women’s Antiwar Diplomacy during the Vietnam War Era
Scholars studying international activism and transnational feminism have noted how American women’s efforts of assistance to foreign countries more often reinforced than revised the practices of U.S. empire in the twentieth century; their attempts to liberate foreign women and promote American mores expressed an absence of cross-cultural understanding and commitment to equality.

Children of Reunion
This book examines the migrations of Vietnamese adoptees and Amerasians since 1965 to answer questions about gendered power relations, obligations to refugees, and constructions of family during an era when U.S. immigration laws elevated the importance of family as a category of entry and anxieties about the consequences of U.S. global interventions intensified. A desire to redeem defeat in Vietnam, faith in conventional forms of kinship, and com…

Making a Non-White America
What happens in a society so diverse that no ethnic group can call itself the majority? Exploring a question that has profound relevance for the nation as a whole, this study looks closely at eclectic neighborhoods in California where multiple minorities constituted the majority during formative years of the twentieth century. In a lively account, woven throughout with vivid voices and experiences drawn from interviews, ethnic newspapers, and mem…
