Omschrijving

American history is filled with many great people of Asian ancestry who have contributed greatly to the country's culture. Because of their contributions, these men and women are rightfully considered heroes by not just Asian Americans, but Americans of all backgrounds.


In The Great Book of Asian American Heroes you'll learn about eighteen of the greatest Asian American heroes and heroines in American history.

This book is unique because it focuses on what made these people heroes and heroines, particularly the struggles they had to overcome along the way. Since a hero can be defined as any person who has influenced a great number of people and often continues to long after his or her death, or covers a time period of nearly 200 years and from all walks of life.


Most of the heroes in this book are of Chinese and Japanese ancestry, but heroes of Indian, Southeast Asian, and Polynesian ancestry are also included. These heroes may have different stories and backgrounds, but they all share the same ability to inspire with their stories!


In The Great Book of Asian American Heroes, you'll learn:

● Who was the first Asian American elected to the US Congress and what obstacles did he overcome to reach that milestone?

● How did Bruce Lee became a global action star and what were the circumstances of his mysterious death?

● What was the idea behind the creation of Scooby-Doo?

● Where did professional baseball player Wally Yonamine leave his mark on the sports world and why was that a major accomplishment?


And so much more!


This book is filled with a plethora of facts about some of the most fascinating and impactful Americans of Asian ancestry. But keep in mind that this is so much more than a boring history book-it's meant to keep you engaged and entertained as much as it will educate you. With that said, this book is guaranteed to edify and entertain you!


Whether you have a passing interest in history, are distantly related to one of the heroes or heroines, or just want something fascinating to read, you can't go wrong with this exciting and inspirational book.
