In this eloquent narrative history, Ronald Takaki, the grandson of Japanese immigrants and a professor of Ethnic Studies at Berkeley, tells the richly diverse stories of Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Asian Indians, Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians who have come to the United States during the past century and a half. A listene3r, he allows these immigrants to speak through their songs, poems, and letters, and weaves their voices into the broad context of American History.

Ronald Takaki did a beautiful job portraying the struggles of Asian immigrants. Personal moving stories from various ethnicities coupled with newpaper clippings, painted a backdrop of how differently each ethnicity felt and lived to establish a life in Hawaii and on the main land, especia California.

STRANGERS FROM A DIFFERENT SHORE eBook Ronald Takaki Reviews
Required book for school.
Good
I learned a lot about Asian American migration from this book. Good and interesting read.
Amazing! I don't really read much, but this was suggested by a friend. You always hear about what happened in Eastern and Southern America, but to hear some of the stories of the ever-socially accepting California being down right racist was pretty amazing. Easy reading and definitely have to force yourself to put it down.
Had to read it for a class and didn't hate my life. It's a very informative book.
Great read! I purchased this book for my AAS class, I didn't think the story telling was going to be very interested until I got to chapter 2.
The book gets better and better. The style of writing is educational, but not dry and boring.
There is so much misunderstanding and miscommunication in this planet and home we call Earth.
Over the years, people of different ethnic groups started to drift apart and create their own unique and functional societies. As you've seen over the years, tensions from different ethnic groups have caused racism, suffering, death, and war.
I believe that, even though this was assigned to me in a class, everyone can still find something useful in this book. Many times, I would turn to another chapter that I was purely interested about, say for example the Koreans. I have no idea how they think or what happened in their history.
With that said, pick this book up because you might contribute to an eventual world peace and unity. Understanding another's culture and spreading that curiosity and knowledge is a small feat but makes a huge difference.
