More about the book

The book explores the nuanced dynamics behind the academic success of Asian Americans, challenging the stereotype of them as a "model minority." Through interviews and surveys, the authors reveal how immigration policies favor educated individuals, creating a "success frame" that emphasizes elite education and high-status careers. They highlight the role of supportive local communities and educational institutions in reinforcing this success. However, the pressure to conform to these expectations can lead to feelings of inadequacy among those who struggle, presenting an "achievement paradox."
