具体描述
What does it mean to be an Asian-American in the United States today? Are Asian-Americans considered "honorary whites" or forever thought of as "foreigners?"
Mia Tuan examines the salience and meaning of ethnicity for later generation Chinese- and Japanese-Americans, and asks how their concepts of ethnicity differ from that of white ethnic Americans. She interviewed 95 middle-class Chinese and Japanese Californians and analyzes the importance of ethnic identities and the concept of becoming a "real" American for both Asian and white ethnics. She asks her subjects about their early memories and experiences with Chinese/Japanese culture; current lifestyle and emerging cultural practices; experiences with racism and discrimination; and attitudes toward current Asian immigration.

十五年前的书 对于它的relevancy有一些质疑 希望能看到follow-up studies; 作为为数不多的qualitative research还是很喜欢
这本书的写作过程的研究急需提高，太片面了，但是对于初学者还是会有帮助的。
Not very strong research, but reveals interesting reality
