150 Years of Asian/Southern Intersections
Vol. 33, Nos. 1-2 Summer 2005
The issue investigates an important but frequently-ignored subject: the close ties between Asia and the U.S. South. Among the in-depth features:
"The articles in this issue give us insight into a wide range of Asian-American communities in the South. One theme that emerges is that many Asians are in America today because of the long-standing and ongoing military, economic, and cultural presence of Americans in Asia. To understand how East has met South, we have to look not only at demographic shifts within the American South, but also at Southern "footprints" in Asia. We have to confront both the new realities and forgotten histories of the South."
