Writing from a variety of perspectives, these contributors expand the concept of community to include sites not necessarily bounded by space; formations around gender, class, sexuality, and generation reveal new processes as well as the demographic diversity of today's Asian American population.

Taken together, these essays forcefully argue that it is time to replace the outworn concept of a monolithic Asian America.
