Reviews
"While many other works have focused on Asian Americans as the 'foreigners within' the dominant order, this book breaks new ground by demonstrating the centrality of conflicts over the political status of Asian Americans during the Cold War itself."- American Historical Review, "Citizens of Asian Americaoffers a significant contribution to the scholarship on Cold War racial politics by highlighting the significance of political discourse about and by Asians, particularly those of Chinese and Korean ancestry in the U.S. from World War II to 1965. Cheng deftly analyzes how various political actors provided competing cultural narratives about race, nation, and identity. Her interpretation of government reports, sociological studies, court cases, and other sources related to housing integration, alien sedition, and immigration rights, will be of interest to scholars of the Cold War, U.S. race relations, U.S.-Asia relations, and immigration."-Judy Tzu-Chun Wu,Associate Professor of History and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Ohio State University, "A marvelous and greatly-needed book, Cheng's chronicle of Asian American battles against restrictive covenants, housing discrimination, and politically-inspired deportations as well as her accounts of battles for professional positions and honors, immigration reform, and civil rights adds important new ideas, evidence, and arguments to the social history of the U.S. by revealing the crucial role played by Asian American racial formation in shaping the broader racial imagination of the nation."- George Lipsitz, author of How Racism Takes Place " Citizens of Asian America offers a significant contribution to the scholarship on Cold War racial politics by highlighting the significance of political discourse about and by Asians, particularly those of Chinese and Korean ancestry in the U.S. from World War II to 1965.

Her interpretation of government reports, sociological studies, court cases, and other sources related to housing integration, alien sedition, and immigration rights, will be of interest to scholars of the Cold War, U.S. race relations, U.S.-Asia relations, and immigration." Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, Associate Professor of History and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Ohio State University, "Cheng's Citizens of Asian America places Asian Americans at the center of this story, showing how the project to highlight the superiority of U.S. democracy over Soviet communism involved removing long-standing barriers to immigration and naturalization for Asians and Asian Americans. . . . A solid addition to the literature on Cold War Civil Rights." - Pacific Historical Review, A marvelous and greatly-needed book, Chengs chronicle of Asian American battles against restrictive covenants, housing discrimination, and politically-inspired deportations as well as her accounts of battles for professional positions and honors, immigration reform, and civil rights adds important new ideas, evidence, and arguments to the social history of the U.S. by revealing the crucial role played by Asian American racial formation in shaping the broader racial imagination of the nation., Citizens of Asian Americais a welcome addition to the scholarship on race and the Cold War. . . . Cheng certainly shows that there us a story to tell about the impact of Asian American civil rights on U.S. foreign relations during the Cold War., "Cheng's Citizens of Asian America places Asian Americans at the center of this story, showing how the project to highlight the superiority of U.S. democracy over Soviet communism involved removing long-standing barriers to immigration and naturalization for Asians and Asian Americans...A solid addition to the literature on Cold War Civil Rights." - Pacific Historical Review, "Citizens of Asian America offers a significant contribution to the scholarship on Cold War racial politics by highlighting the significance of political discourse about and by Asians, particularly those of Chinese and Korean ancestry in the U.S. from World War II to 1965.

Ultimately, Cheng's subtle but important shifts in how we understand race and democracy during the Cold War pushes the field of Asian American history in new directions on the politics of racial inclusion."- Western Historical Quarterly, Citizens of Asian America offers a significant contribution to the scholarship on Cold War racial politics by highlighting the significance of political discourse about and by Asians, particularly those of Chinese and Korean ancestry in the U.S. from World War II to 1965.

In her discussion of 'firsts,' she presents the lives of her subjects with a rare warmth and complexity; she also persuasively shows that such people developed their own understanding of race, democracy, and Americanness distinct from media portrayals of the mas symbols of American superiority and freedom. Juxtaposing celebrations of Asian Americans' loyalty with probes into their alleged subversion, Cheng astutely observes that these apparently conflicting ideas were in fact not so contradictory after all., "Cheng (history and Asian American studies, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison) illuminates matters of race during the Cold War that scholars often have overlooked as they focused on the plight of African American efforts to achieve civil rights during the era."-Choice,, "Astounding and nuanced work...Ultimately, Cheng's subtle but important shifts in how we understand race and democracy during the Cold War pushes the field of Asian American history in new directions on the politics of racial inclusion."- Western Historical Quarterly, "Citizens of Asian America is a welcome addition to the scholarship on race and the Cold War. . . .

The seller was very clear during contact's. I got the item very fast in the mail. The product was as described by the seller. My only disappointment is with the book itself. Some prayers repeat through out the book and, some prayers are missing. But, overall I'm very happy with my purchase.
