Zusammenfassung:One can hardly understand American history without knowing the crucial role people of Asian ancestry have played in shaping our past, politics, and culture.

Or that traditionally the hula is a religious dance performed in remembrance of Hawaiian gods. Or that ginseng, a popular herbal remedy, was first grown in the forests of Korea
