Abstract "A collection of thirty heartfelt, witty, and hopeful thought pieces on the experience of growing up Asian American, for fans of Minor Feelings"-- Amazon.com.
Abstract There are twenty-two million people representing more than twenty countries, each with unique languages, history and cultures. Yet they are all clumped into one group: Asian American. Here, in essays, poems, and comics, prominent Asian American creators give voice to moments that defined them, and shed light on the immense diversity and complexity of the Asian American identity. -- adapted from jacket
