Summary

In sharp contrast to the ‘melting pot’ reputation of the United States, the American South - with its history of slavery, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement - has been perceived in stark and simplistic demographic terms. This volume offers essays that explore an overlooked part of the South's story - Asian immigration to the region.
