Description
Asian Americans and the Law: Cases and Materials Denny Chin ISBN 9781531031862
The history of Asian and Pacific Islander peoples in the United States is deeply intertwined with the development of American law. Statutes, regulations, and judicial decisions—including numerous rulings of the United States Supreme Court—have shaped this history, raising fundamental questions about citizenship, border control, racial discrimination, the tension between wartime necessity and individual rights, and access to justice in the face of race-based violence and exclusion.
Asian Americans and the Law is the first casebook of its kind to present a comprehensive account of Asian American engagement with U.S. law and legal institutions from the nation’s founding to the present. Centered on primary legal sources—the Constitution, federal and state statutes and ordinances, and court decisions—the book situates doctrine within its historical and social context. Alongside these materials, the text includes explanatory notes, illustrations, and discussion questions that illuminate the lived experiences behind the cases, highlighting the stories of ordinary individuals—laborers, cooks, launderers, soldiers, and others—who, with the assistance of dedicated counsel, challenged discriminatory laws through the courts.
The book is organized into four thematic units: (1) Arrival, Exclusion, and Citizenship; (2) Historical Discrimination; (3) Internment and Redress and Reparations; and (4) Contemporary Issues. Cases are carefully edited and presented in clear, accessible prose, minimizing jargon while preserving doctrinal rigor. This approach makes the text approachable for non–law students and general readers, while remaining sufficiently nuanced and precise for law students, scholars, and practitioners.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
