Introduction:This book is a twenty-first-century snapshot of Asian Pacific Americans inside the gates of Gold Mountain. It is a tapestry of tales reflecting their lives, experiences, hopes, and dreams. Ultimately the spectrum of values——in education, family, work——form a remarkable mosaic of the Asian American experience, distinct in many ways from that of Asians living either in Asia or as immigrants encountering diaspora elsewhere in the world.
