Shah’s weaving together of social scientific research, cultural studies, and literary analysis is seamless. I am particularly excited by the incorporation of environmental justice literature into this mix, which is rare. The book’s greatest strength remains the young activists whose stories bring this book to life. Laotian Daughters is part of an important, growing intellectual body of research on the U.S. second generation, and this ethnographic study of Laotian teenagers fills a significant niche.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Lisa Sun-Hee Park, Professor of Sociology at the University of Minnesota, and author of Consuming Citizenship: Children of Asian Immigrant Entrepreneurs\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\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow environmental activism in youth shapes political engagement and citizenship for Laotian American women\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1 “Where We Live, Where We Work, Where We Play, Where We Learn”: The Asian Pacific Environmental Network\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2 From Agent Orange to Superfund Sites to Anti-immigrant Sentiments: Multiple Voyages, Ongoing Challenges\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3 New Immigration and the American Nation: A Framework for Citizenship and Belonging\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4 The Politics of Race: Political Identity and the Struggle for Social Rights\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5 Negotiating Racial Hierarchies: Critical Incorporation, Immigrant Ideology, and Interminority Relations\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6 Family, Culture, Gender: Narratives of Ethnic Reconstruction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7 Building Community, Crafting Belonging in Multiple Homes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8 Becoming “American”: Remaking American National Identity through Environmental Justice Activism\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAPPENDIX Socio-demographic Information on Second-Generation Laotians Who Participated in the Study\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNotes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eReferences\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIndex\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584903770392,"sku":"9781439908136","price":57.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/laotian-daughters-working-toward-community-belonging-and-environmental-justice-hardback-9781439908136","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
