- Summary
- "If Asian Americans are to assume the role of bridge builders across the Pacific, what are the opportunities, the risks, the promises, and the perils? The answer to this question comes in eight essays in which contributors to Across the Pacific address issues of contemporary growth and diversification of Asian America in relation to the increasingly global economy. This book explores, in descriptive and critical ways, how transnational relationships and interactions in Asian American communities are manifested, exemplified, and articulated within the international context of the Pacific Rim."--Jacket.
