A popular portrayal of pre-World War II Asian American history is that of Asian workers, almost always men, coming to the United States in search of opportunities.
From the rear cover
"An immensely ambitious book, American Workers, Colonial Power is a regional history with ever widening spatial and social circles, each one layered and complex. Filipina/o Seattle, this study shows, reflects and exemplifies much of the American West and U.S., and affirms the mutually influential relationship, especially in terms of culture, between the U.S. and the Philippines. This is a work of deep scholarship and broad significance."--Gary Y. Okihiro, author of Common Ground: Reimagining American History
