Asians and Latinos comprise the vast majority of contemporary immigrants to the United States, and their growing presence has complicated America's prevailing White-Black race hierarchy. Imperial Citizens uses a global framework to investigate how Asians from U.S.-dominated homelands understand their place along U.S. color lines. With interviews and ethnographic observations, the book does what others rarely do: it ventures to the immigrants' home country and analyzes racism there in relation to racial hierarchies in the United States.
