He skillfully employs numerous quotes from newspaper sources and interviews to tell this complicated history of ethnic tensions and racial formation. Americans First is a terrific book for course use. By illuminating a little known area of Asian American history, the book provokes much discussion and debate.\" \u003cbr\u003e-Mary Ting Yi Lui, Yale University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Americans First is insightful, beautifully written and highly readable from beginning to end.... an excellent reference for anyone interested in Asian American history, US-China relations, identity politics and migration studies.\" \u003cbr\u003e-The Journal of Chinese Overseas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAnalyses how Chinese Americans ventured beyond the confines of Chinatown by joining the military and working in defense industries\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52734359896344,"sku":"9781592138401","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/americans-first-chinese-americans-and-the-second-world-war-paperback-softback-9781592138401","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
