Adaptation, Acculturation and Transnational Ties among Asian Americans (Asians in America: The Peoples of East, Southeast, and South Asia in American Life and Culture)

In recent years emphasis has been placed on the fluidity of identities of immigrants who have migrated across national boundaries. Scholars are more interested in cultural continuities and discontinuities, the adaptation of traditional practices, and the cultural invention of new practices. These essays explore the construction of new identities, changing group boundaries, generational conflict, the development of new categories such as multiracial Asians through intermarriage, and the maintenance of transnational ties.
