Report From AAAS

At the end of this past April the Association for Asian American Studies held its annual conference. This year it was held in Salt Lake City and AACP was there as an exhibitor. For those of you that visited our booth, thank you.

Many of this year's exhibitors were publishers of Asian American books. You can find links to their websites on our links page and following here. Note that these websites often contain a mix of materials including non-Asian American relate items. Wherever possible, links were made to specific pages that may contain items seen at the AAAS conference.
