Biotic Borders: Transpacific Plant and Insect Migration and the Rise of Anti-Asian Racism in America, 1890–1950
Biotic Borders is the long-awaited monograph that expands upon Jeannie N. Shinozuka's 2013 essay in American Quarterly, “Deadly Perils: Japanese Beetles and the Pestilential Immigrant, 1920s–1930s,” with which many readers are no doubt familiar and (perhaps like this reviewer) may have assigned in their courses on immigration and Asian American history. The book goes both wider and deeper, covering a broader range of species (San José scale, ches…
Asian American History and Its Publics: Practitioners and Scholars Chart Diverse Paths
In this forum, a diverse group of scholars and practitioners reflect upon doing work as Asian Americanists with and for non-academic audiences, or various "publics."

The Chinese Art “Arms Race”
Interest in Chinese art has swelled in the United States in recent years. In 2015, the collection of the late dealer-collector Robert Hatfield Ellsworth fetched no less than $134 million at auction (much of it from Mainland Chinese buyers), while the Metropolitan Museum of Art drew over 800,000 visitors to its galleries for the blockbuster show “China: Through the Looking Glass”—the fifth most-visited exhibition in the museum’s 130-year history. …
