Wang, L. Ling-chi – Amerasia Journal, 1990
Commends the book as a general introduction. Finds, however, that much of the material is secondary, with insufficient attribution. The book's coverage of the postwar period is largely anecdotal and does not record the recent emergence of ethnic and political consciousness, community organization, and artistic expression among Asian Americans.
