Eiichiro Azuma is an Assistant Professor of History and Asian American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Firmly grounded in empirical evidence and theoretically sophisticated, Between Two Empires tells the complex story of Japanese immigration into the United States within the twin contexts of Japanese and U.S. empire-building and the development of transnational identities among the immigrants themselves.
