Shirley Hune and Gail Nomura, editors. Asian/Pacific Islander American Women: A Historical Anthology. New York: New York University Press. 2003. Pp. xi, 426. Cloth $65.00, paper $24.00.

This collection of monographs, in the words of its editors, seeks to "reframe history about Asian/Pacific Islander American women by considering them as historical agents actively engaging in determining their lives and those of their families, communities, and larger entities, albeit within multiple and complex constraints" (p. 1). The editors also hope to establish a new foundational text for courses in Asian-American Studies and to "showcase new research" that reflects the editors' agenda relative to the recentering of women in the histories of Asian-American communities (p. 4). In pursuit of this goal, Shirley Hune and Gail M. Nomura have assembled a somewhat eclectic group of twenty-four essays, the final two of which are bibliographic in nature, arranged in eight sections. Together, they comprise a generally successful attempt to "present a new history of Asian and Pacific Islander American women 'on our terms'" (p. 16).
