"This book is excellent reading...Framework for Immigration is an important contribution" — Savneet Talwar, American Studies International

"The social policy and practice intervention guidelines she provides are on target. This is a significant scholarly addition to the literature on ethnic and racial minorities and should be required reading for those who seek to understand the challenges confronting Asians and other people of color in the United States." — Shanti Khinduka, Dean and George Warren Brown Distinguished University Professor, Washington University

"A valuable study of the problems facing contemporary immigrants from Asia that nicely balances the theoretical and the practical. Perhaps its greatest virtue is that it allows the reader to see not the “waves” of immigration from the East but a good sample of the individuals who are the reality that the immigration statistics often mask." — Roger Daniels, Charles Phelps Taft Professor of History, University of Cincinnati

"A valuable addition to understanding Asian Americans. Especially important is the concept of generations." — Harry Kitano, University of California, Los Angeles
