Asians in Colorado
University of Washington Press (Verlag)
978-0-295-74365-3 (ISBN)
Offering a fresh perspective on how cycles of persecution are repeated, Wei reveals how the treatment of Asian Americans resonates with the experiences of other marginalized groups in American society. His study sheds light not only on the Asian American experience but also on the development of Colorado and the greater American West.
William Wei is professor of history at the University of Colorado. He is the author of The Asian American Movement.
