Original & expansive, Asian American Histories of the United States is a nearly 200-year history of Asian migration, labor, & community formation in the US. Reckoning with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic & the surge in anti-Asian hate & violence, award-winning historian Catherine Ceniza Choy presents an urgent social history of the fastest growing group of Americans. The book features the lived experiences & diverse voices of immigrants, refugees, US-born Asian Americans, multiracial Americans, & workers from industries spanning agriculture to healthcare.

Despite significant Asian American breakthroughs in American politics, arts, & popular culture in the 21st century, a profound lack of understanding of Asian American history permeates American culture. Choy traces how anti-Asian violence & its intersection with misogyny & other forms of hatred, the erasure of Asian American experiences & contributions, & Asian American resistance to what has been omitted are prominent themes in Asian American history. This ambitious book is fundamental to understanding the American experience & its existential crises of the early 21st century.
