The Making of Asian America: A History

It took me a long time to read this not because it's not great but rather because it could be so sad and infuriating. Of course, I have the massive white privilege to be like, “Oh wow this sucks, the U.S. has been so awful to Asian Americans!” and take a break instead of you know, living those experiences.

But it's such a rewarding read as it gives so much history and context to not just the experiences of different Asian Americans but also just immigration policy in general. I'd highly recommend this to anyone whose family has immigrated to the U.S., who is interested in immigration, or interested in the history of Asian peoples in this country.
