In an unprecedented exploration of the Asian American experience in an international context, the Asia Society teamed with leading Asian American organizations to present Bridges with Asia: Asian Americans in the United States on May 2-4, 1996. This groundbreaking national conference explored the multifaceted roles of Asian Americans in the development of economic, political, and cultural relations between the U.S. and the countries of Asia. Topics included immigration, economics, foreign policy, the media and the arts. The Asia Society has recently published the report on the conference, much of which you'll find here. For the full report please contact Sunita Sunder Mukhi at (212) 327-9230 or email her at smukhi@asiasoc.org.
