But as the Midwestern and Southern states experienced more rapid population growth than that in California, Hawaii, and New York in the recent decades, the Heartland region has emerged as a growing interest of Asian American studies. Focused on the Heartland cities of Chicago, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri, this book draws rich evidences from various government records, personal stories and interviews, and media reports, and sheds light on the commonalities and uniqueness of the region, as compared to the Asian American communities on the East and West Coast and Hawaii. Some of the poignant stories such as \"the Three Moy Brothers,\" \"Alla Lee,\" and \"Save Sam Wah Laundry\" told in the book are powerful reflections of Asian American history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHUPING LING, professor emerita of history at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri, served as the executive editor-in-chief for the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Asian American Studies \u003c\/i\u003efrom 2008 to 2012.
