Written for students at a 6th-8th grade reading level, this set traces the history and contributions of Asian-Americans from their first travels across the Pacific to the present day.

When Asians began to immigrate to the United States in the 1800s, they met with both gratitude for the labor they provided and mistrust for their culture, which was unfamiliar to Americans. This two-volume set traces the turbulent history of Asian Americans from their first arrival to the present day. After an introduction to each chapter, A-Z entries identify people, places, events, and terms to give a complete picture to students researching all aspects of Asian American history.

Volume 1: From Gold Mountain to Picture Brides, 1848-1924
Volume 2: From the Exclusion Era to Today, 1925-Present

Reviews
This set will be a good starting point for middle grade researchers, with primary source material and well-captioned b&w illustrations adding to the text. It is an especially good addition to middle school Asian American collections. Recommended.—Library Media Connection

The short essays are engaging and are appropriately written for a middle school audience, incorporating enough detail to satisfy most report-writing requirements without drowning students in arcana....Each volume includes a comprehensive index, a volume-specific glossary, impressive lists of further resources in a variety of media, and an extensive bibliography. The black and white illustrations are crisply rendered and include historical photographs, political cartoons, and reprints of Asian language newspapers. There is genuinely useful and interesting information here.—VOYA
