Chinese America - Stereotype and Reality:
History, Present and Future of the Chinese in America
	


Dear Listserv Administrator,

We are pleased to introduce a new book on Chinese America to you. The
publication is a comprehensive work about history, present and future of
the Chinese in America, including details about the international
Chinese Diaspora. You will find the book highly informative and
worthwile to read:

The ethnic composition of the United States has changed continuously
over the last two centuries. Driven by economic, political, and social
motives, millions of immigrants have arrived from all over the world.
The unobtrusive and low-profile attitude of the Chinese Americans does
not place them in the immediate spotlight. Their number and influence
seems, however, to be growing strongly, which may signal a new shift in
the ethnic composition of the United States, as an indicator of the
growing influence of the Chinese Diaspora worldwide.

Chinese America - Stereotype and Reality is a comprehensive and
fascinating book about the Chinese in the United States. Covering every
aspect of this ethnicity in depth, the book summarizes more than 150
years of history of this increasingly important social group. From
historical immigration figures to the latest immigrant legislation, from
educational achievements to socio-cultural and political
accomplishments, it is an invaluable resource offering a wealth of
information about Chinese Americans. The detailed knowledge about the
Chinese Diaspora, combined with a meticulous research into facts,
provides a captivating reading.

Chinese America - Stereotype and Reality shows the history, diversity,
socio-cultural structures, networks, and achievements of this often
overlooked ethnicity. Based on their current position, the Chinese
Americans are, as the author shows, well placed to play a major role in
the relations between China and the United States - the two largest
economies of the 21st century.
