Barbara ，

I received this ARC from the publisherWell researched and well written。

It's difficult to write about such a broad history and experience and make it feel inclusive and holistic within the limited confines of a single book。 I think Catherine Ceniza Choy does well in this。 The book is a bit dry at times， coming across a bit like a textbook， but still captures the reader's attention with stories of real Asian Americans throughout history who are just as impactful and important （but not nearly as uplifted） as the most commonly taught names in American history。 I learne It's difficult to write about such a broad history and experience and make it feel inclusive and holistic within the limited confines of a single book。 I think Catherine Ceniza Choy does well in this。 The book is a bit dry at times， coming across a bit like a textbook， but still captures the reader's attention with stories of real Asian Americans throughout history who are just as impactful and important （but not nearly as uplifted） as the most commonly taught names in American history。 I learned plenty of new histories。 I'm glad this talks about AAPI figures in relation to the abstract laws and movements — that's how our experiences get humanized。 I believe my own experiences and viewpoints would have been a lot different growing up if I had had a book like this in school。 。。。more
