zlibrarian's review against another edition
4.0
The authors present the history of anti-Asian stereotyping in a way that makes it clear just how pervasive the negative images and tropes were (and continue to be); anyone who has viewed mainstream films, TV, or comic books will soon realize as they read that the stereotypes are present in our minds even if we think that we didn't know them, or had managed to educate ourselves beyond them. I'm a Black American woman and many of the stereotypes felt familiar in a strangely personal way -- obviously different from anti-Black images, but the pervasiveness and vicious nature of the images -- well, that felt familiar. As a librarian, I'd recommend this book to faculty, students, and staff. As a resident of a U.S. city, I'd recommend it to everyone.

informative
slow-paced
Difficult read, very academic. Very informative and thorough. Also, extremely heavy - I recommend the digital version if you can, this was hard to hold up, especially if you have hand problems.
