Julia Lee expertly harnesses her wholly warranted rage into a sharp reflection on life as a second-generation Korean American. She walks us through her childhood in California, highlighting tensions with her parents, microaggressions in an all-girls private school, and the radicalizing experience of the 1992 LA Riots. Drawing on her literary education, Lee layers her own experience onto a collage of the menacing & varied experiences of oppression encountered by BIPOC in America. This powerful book belongs alongside Karla Cornejo Villavicencio's Undocumented Americans, Jesse Wente's Unreconciled, and Emi Nietfeld's Acceptance.
