Book Review

Re/collecting Early Asian America: Essays in Cultural History. Ed. by Josephine Lee, Imogene L. Lim, and Yuko Matsukawa. (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2002. xiv, 368 pp. Cloth, $74.50, ISBN 1-56639-963-7. Paper, $24.95, ISBN 1-56639-964-5.)

Although a few of the essays in this collection offer historical arguments, as a whole, this is a volume not so much of history as of historical criticism. Nevertheless, the interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary engagements it seeks to make with an "early Asian America" offer useful correctives, insightful analysis, and food for thought, not only for Asian American studies scholars but also for scholars concerned with "history" and the processes that connect, imagine, tell, and recollect the past to, and within, the present.
