When the Hart-Celler Act passed in 1965, opening up U.S. immigration to non-Europeans, it ushered in a whole new era of Asian American socio-political shifts. Yang, Yo, and Wang have created a love letter to and for Asian Americans, providing a vivid scrapbook of voices, emotions, and memories from an era in which their culture was forged and transformed. They include interviews and contributions from major Asian American cultural icons and artists, creating a celebration of shared experiences highlighting the different ways in which we have chosen to come together. The authors take us through the cultural, social and political shifts of the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and into today.-- adapted from wrap-around
