Compelled to Excel: Immigration, Education, and Opportunity Among Chinese Americans

This book is exceptionally well-written and organized. The volume can be accessed by all college-level readers. It is an excellent choice for scholars interested in a compelling critical enthographic study of college access and attainment among Chinese Americans. It is also useful for Student Affairs professionals seeking to understand and/or support the academic goals of Chinese American students (some lessons are most likely generalizable to the larger Asian American and/or general college-going population). This book may also be of interest to current college students from this type of background as it will help to create a sense of virtual community for students.
