Asian American Art: A History, 1850-1970
"...a must-read for specialists in American ethnic history.... It will surely remain a classic work in Asian American studies and—it is to be hoped—in American art history."—Greg Robinson, l'Université du Québec  Montréal,Journal of American Ethnic History"Here are artists and work that have long been lost, forgotten, and in some cases deliberately hidden.  I was impressed by the comprehensive, thoughtful, insightful, and sometimes provocative approach taken in the essays, but to see the art itself! We see the breadth and range of experience, styles, and obstacles both artistic and personal. What is western?  What is eastern?  How did citizenship, internment, or discrimination affect these artists?Asian American Artfaces these questions and beyond."—Lisa See, author ofSnow Flower and the Secret FanandPeony in Love"I congratulate the team that has devoted years of work to this remarkable recovery of Asian American art making. Every library in the country should have this art history book on its reference shelves for its names, its biographies, its reproductions, and its fresh and inspirational stories of courage and dedication."—Wanda M. Corn, Professor Emerita, Stanford University
