Eight contributions from Min (sociology, Queens College, NY) and other Asian-American academics discuss identity issues for second generation ethnic Asians from Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Indian, and Vietnamese descent. These empirical studies examine such topics as Filipino American youth gangs in Los Angeles, ethnic and racial identities of Asian Americans in college, and ethnic attachment among third- and fourth- generation Chinese and Japanese Americans. Seven of the essays were previously published in various journals. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
