Asian-Nation is a Web site that focuses on the culture, background and experiences of Asian Americans. As the brainchild of C.N. Le, a Vietnamese American sociologist and professor, Asian-Nation presents a comprehensive and concise view into the world of more than 10 different Asian ethnicities as they exist in the United States. Using information from the U.S. Census and various studies, Le provides insights into topics pertinent to Asian Americans such as spirituality, cuisine and sex. The Web site also focuses on specific historic milestones significant to Asian Americans including the 1865 Immigration Act. For librarians serving diverse populations, this Web site could be a tool to assist with school assignments and even point to some programming needs for this demographic.
