![]() ![]() If he wanted to write a book solely on East Asian immigration to America, he should have done so.Ģ. I suppose there are also some short write ups on the experiences of refugees from Vietnam (12 pages), Laos (8 pages) and Cambodia (4 pages) towards the end of the book but again, the brevity makes me question Takaki's priorities in writing this book. It's because the book focuses heavily on Japanese, Chinese and Korean immigrants, with lesser amounts of time being spent on Filipino immigrants and as said, 24 pages on Indian Americans. Was it because Takaki exhaustively covers all Asian immigration to America? No. Of these, only 24 were spent discussing the experiences of Indian Americans. ![]()
