This book provides a complex and intricate portrayal of Asian American
high school girls – which has been an under-researched population
– as cultural meditators, diasporic agents, and community builders
who negotiate displacement and attachment in challenging worlds of the
in-between. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork, Tomoko
Tokunaga presents a portrait of the girls’ hardships, dilemmas, and
dreams while growing up in an interconnected world. This book
contributes a new understanding of the roles of immigrant children and
youth as agents of globalization and sophisticated border-crossers who
have the power and agency to construct belonging and identity across
multiple contexts, spaces, times, activities, and relationships. It
has much to offer to the construction of educative communities and
spaces where immigrant youth, specifically immigrant girls, can
thrive.
