"...begins with a section titled "Asian American Experience" (92 pages), followed by sections divided by "nationality," e.g., the "Bangladeshi American Experience." Whereas sections for nationality range geographically from Pakistan to Japan and include the Pacific Islands, those for Chinese Americans (131 pages plus 19 pages for "Taiwanese Americans"), Japanese Americans (104 pages), Filipino Americans (58 pages), and Indian Americans (55 pages) predominate... For the larger groups, the essay is followed by important entries for that community, e.g., on laws, personalities, organizations, subjects (such as religion and immigration), and issues. Complementing the entries are a list of topics, a list of contributors (identified by institution only), and a detailed 42-page index." (CHOICE magazine review)
