This book wasn't what I was expecting, but in a good way.  This book was a collection of essays and felt like a memoir. She talks about Asian Americans in history that I had never hear of until now and I am so glad that I could learn more about them.  As an Asian American myself, this book made me do a lot of self-reflecting.

Exceptional. This collection of essays is unbearably precise, striking the most vulnerable of emotions with masterful, incisive language. I feel my own untangled, dark and shameful vulnerabilities cast under a bright white spotlight to be dissected with great precision, confidence, and relevance. What does it mean to be Asian in a neoliberal, colonised, modern world? Why am I enraged and yet why am I invisible? This is essential reading.
