    Summary note
    • Despite the relatively short history of the Taiwanese in the United States, they have been a significant presence in America. Since 1965, immigration law changes have led to a dramatic increase in the Chinese population in the United States. Taiwanese Americans, the immigrants from Taiwan and their descendants, are a prominent group in this growing Chinese population. This is the first book-length study about the Taiwanese American community. While most articles have discussed the economic impact of their immigration, this study focuses on their community organization, information networks, religious practices, cultural observances, and the growing second generation.
    • Finally, it concludes with an assessment of the contributions of Taiwanese Americans to American society.
