The contributions present new research on diverse aspects of Asian American and Pacific Islander women's history, from the politics of language, to the role of food, to experiences as adoptees, mixed race, and second generation, while acknowledging shared experiences as women of color in the United States. <p/><i>Our Voices, Our Histories</i> showcases how new approaches in US history, Asian American and Pacific Islander studies, and Women's and Gender studies inform research on Asian American and Pacific Islander women. Attending to the collective voices of the women themselves, the volume seeks to transform current understandings of Asian American and Pacific Islander women's histories.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A field-defining work, charting the past, present, and future of Asian American women's history.--Miliann Kang, author of <i>The Managed Hand: Race, Gender, and the Body in Beauty Service Work</i><br><br>Carrying the thread of women's agency throughout, this anthology encompasses struggles and triumphs around social, cultural, and civic citizenship, expanding outward from the US context to incorporate analyses of how gender is always already intersectional and intertwined with globalization, transnationalism, and empire-building in the Asian American and Pacific Islander context. . . .
