But as the Midwestern and Southern states experienced more rapid population growth than that in California, Hawaii, and New York in the recent decades, the Heartland region has emerged as a growing interest of Asian American studies. Focused on the Heartland cities of Chicago, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri, this book draws rich evidences from various government records, personal stories and interviews, and media reports, and sheds light on the commonalities and uniqueness of the region, as compared to the Asian American communities on the East and West Coast and Hawaii. Some of the poignant stories such as "the Three Moy Brothers," "Alla Lee," and "Save Sam Wah Laundry" told in the book are powerful reflections of Asian American history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Chinese Americans $z Middle West $x History. 651 0 $a Middle West $x Emigration and immigration. 651 0 $a Middle West $x Ethnic relations. 830 0 $a Asian American studies today. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203071128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F10A6F7C5B3C11ED8F2A915D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
