Mini Review: "Asian Texans" edited by Irwin A. Tang
Lost in much of the discussion and exploration of the history of Texas is the role of the Asian culture in Texas. Charting the history of The Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, and others in Texas, Editor Irwin A. Tang puts the past and the recent present into interesting perspective. Thanks to his team of more than 20 researchers and writers and a five year effort, the resulting 404 page book is a comprehensive and detailed accounting of an often overlooked area of Texas History. Heavy with facts and figures, the work is dry at times, but consistently highly informative.

I know a few recent Asian Caribbean immigrants to Texas, from the 1970's-1980's. Wonder if they are included as a group in the book?
Been so long since I had the book from the library, I can't tell you for sure. I think they were included as a group. But, I can't swear to it now.
