As the field of Asian American literary studies gains increasing recognition, however, questions of misreading and appropriation inevitably arise.

New Immigrants in the United States
This book provides a social and educational perspective on contemporary English language learners, especially those large, fast-growing Hispanic and Asian groups whose presence is felt strongly in the schools. It is addressed to preservice and in-service teachers of English, whether in language arts, bilingual education, or English as a second language classrooms. Section One, An Historical and Contemporary Overview on English Language Learners in the US describes the makeup of previous generations of English language learners in the United States provides current demographics on English language learners; it also examines the process whereby immigrants come to adopt English.

The third section, English Language Learners and Investment, explores three types of investment necessary for successful language learning--individual investment, legal and policy investment, and educational investment.
