Book Description:

While Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are growing faster than any other racial group in the US, they are all but invisible in higher education, and generally ignored in the research literature. This book presents disaggregated data to unmask important academic achievement and other disparities within the population, and offers new insights that promote more authentic understandings of the realities masked by the designation of AAPI.
