This book should be an excellent text for undergraduate courses on diversity and work in general, and Asian Pacific American workers in particular. The writing balances an engaging style with useful theoretical concepts to encourage critical thinking and understanding....As any good book does, this volume by Wu simultaneously informs and raises new questions.
