A comprehensive and spirited exploration of Asian American history—its movements, cultures, and key figures—beautifully illustrated and compellingly told for readers of all ages.
Co-authors Cathy Linh Che and Kyle Lucia Wu take us on a journey through stories of celebration and resistance:
–the Third World Liberation Front,
–the Muslim Ban,
–Japanese American incarceration camps,
–Padma Lakshmi,
–Rashida Tlaib,
–Sunisa Lee, and more.
It is a history of struggle, but also one of great triumph, brought to life with colorful and dynamic illustrations by Kavita Ramchandran.
An Asian American A to Z: A Children’s Guide to Our History is such an important book, and a necessary addition to the canon. It is unique in its scope, highlighting artists as recent as Ocean Vuong and Kelly Marie Tran as well as a thorough account of key historical and cultural markers. Asian American identity formation is expansive yet under-taught, and this book is an essential intervention that will ground readers in joy, history, and solidarity. ---from the publisher
