kumarhk's review against another edition
4.0
Collection of four essays. Reflecting on the brief cultural ascendance of Jeremy Lin, the racist 2012 mass shooting at a Wisconsin Gurdwara, and the popularization of PSY in the US, Salesses reflects on various aspects of the Asian American experience, on transracial adoption, on appearance and stereotyping, and on moving through White spaces as a person of color. He delves into his own childhood with an open vulnerability, deploying personal narrative and cultural commentary to powerful effect. Short and event-centric but not dated. Essays can also be found individually as originally published on The Rumpus and The Margins.
