Towards a Pacific History of the Americas

This issue of Amerasia is an attempt in some ways to begin an examination of how the 49th parallel, marking the political border that separates Canada and the United States, has made a difference, and what scholars and activists on both sides of that border might learn in thinking about the similarities and differences in how Asian migrants acted and were treated. The migrants themselves had come from some of the very same places-specific regions of northeast, southeast, east and west Asia-and there was a surprising amount of moving back and forth across the Canada-U.S. border for these migrants and their descendents.
