Abstract

This presentation provides a critical review of recent research on Asian Americans with a focus on several chapters in Annual Review of Sociology. Limitations and problems are identified that obscure our understanding of Asia Americans in the contemporary era. Emphasizing the disadvantages of minority status and racial discrimination against Asian Americans does not analytically explain why they have higher socioeconomic attainments than White Americans.
