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.
Written by the directors of Kundiman--an organization dedicated to
nurturing Asian American writers--An Asian American A to Z is a book
for children of all backgrounds and a vital resource for tomorrow's
organizers. Asian American identity formation is expansive yet
under-taught, and this book is a necessary intervention that will ground
readers in joy, history, and solidarity.
