Reviews:

• This set will be a good starting point for middle grade researchers, with primary source material and well-captioned b&w illustrations adding to the text. It is an especially good addition to middle school Asian American collections. Recommended.

• The short essays are engaging and are appropriately written for a middle school audience, incorporating enough detail to satisfy most report-writing requirements without drowning students in arcana....Each volume includes a comprehensive index, a volume-specific glossary, impressive lists of further resources in a variety of media, and an extensive bibliography. The black and white illustrations are crisply rendered and include historical photographs, political cartoons, and reprints of Asian language newspapers. There is genuinely useful and interesting information here.
