Drawing on in-depth interviews, this comprehensive text delves into the experiences of Asian American teachers in the United States, exploring their adaptations, persistence, and resistance against racial stereotyping and systematic marginalization throughout their educational and professional journeys. Through a critical lens, Kim and Hsieh examine these experiences through chapters focused on issues such as anti-essentialism, intersectionality, and the broader social and historical positioning of Asians in the US. By applying a critical theoretical framework to the study of Asian American teachers, the book underscores the significance of this framework in understanding educators' experiences during schooling, training, and teaching. Moreover, it highlights the urgent need to ensure visibility for a community often overlooked as a model minority but one of the fastest growing racial groups in the US.

This text will be of immense value to researchers, academics, and educators with interests in the sociology of education, multicultural education, and teachers and teacher education more broadly. Those with specific interests in Asian American history and the study of race and ethics within Asian studies will also find this book to be a valuable resource.
