Asian/Pacific Islander American Women: A Historical Anthology. Edited by Shirley Hune and Gail M. Nomura. (New York: New York University Press, 2003. xi + 426 pp. Notes, index. $65.00, cloth; $24.00, paper.)

      Shirley Hune and Gail Nomura, two venerable historians of the Asian American experience, in gathering a broad spectrum of senior scholars in the field, have produced a valuable collection of essays focusing on a broad array of issues concerning Asian/Pacific Islander American women. Arranged thematically, these twenty-two essays cover topics ranging from images of native Hawaiian women, Chinese immigrant women on Angel Island, Korean military brides, Filipina domestic workers, Japanese American Girls' clubs, the state of Hmong and Cambodian women in America, South Asian American women community leaders, and Asian American lesbians, to the politics of abortion among Chamorro women in Guam. These insightful essays and others are bracketed by two introductory essays by the editors and a bibliographical essay and an annotated bibliography of videos. . . .
