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.

So many things I felt I related to but never found the words to express myself.

informative reflective fast-paced

This book offers important insight into the racial nuance of the “Asian-American” identity. I think it is a must read for all those to call themselves “cultured”.
