I include “Child death” here because Lily Chin’s grief and activism after her son’s death are major themes. He’s 27, so he’s no longer a child, but her grief is specifically parental. Please let me know if I’m mis-using this tag!betweentheshelves's review

I grew up in Michigan, and I'm ashamed that I never learned any of this in school. I didn't even know who Vincent Chin was until I listened to this. Asian American rights are glossed over in school when talking about Civil Rights, and they definitely shouldn't be.
Yoo does a great job breaking down what happened and the environment surrounding Chin's murder. There's so much I didn't know going into this book, and I'm glad to have learned. This should definitely be required reading in high school classrooms.
