In Race, Rights, and the Asian American Experience, Angelo N.   Ancheta demonstrates how United States civil rights laws have been framed   by a black-white model of race that typically ignores the experiences of   other groups, including Asian Americans. When racial discourse is limited   to antagonisms between black and white, Asian Americans often find   themselves in a racial limbo, marginalized or unrecognized as full   participants. Ancheta examines legal and social theories of racial discrimination,   ethnic differences in the Asian American population, nativism, citizenship,   language, school desegregation, and affirmative action. In the second   edition of this influential book, Ancheta also covers post-9/11 anti-Asian   sentiment and racial profiling.  He analyzes recent legal cases involving   political empowerment, language rights, human trafficking, immigrant   rights, and affirmative action in higher education--many of which move the   country farther away from the ideals of racial justice.  On a more positive   note, he reports on the progress Asian Americans have made in the corporate   sector, politics, the military, entertainment, and academia.A skillful mixture of legal theories, court cases, historical events,   and personal insights, this second edition brings fresh insights to U.S.   civil rights from an Asian American perspective
