Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People by Helen Zia

3.0

3.5/4: I really had no sense of my Asian American history, and wish this was included in my K-12 education. This book provided a great overview, and is truly the only American history that feels intimately applicable to me. It also somehow feels so relevant despite being published two decades ago. That being said, this reads more like an exhaustive textbook to me which makes it less approachable. The first half I found to be quite interesting, but the second half I struggled through as I kept falling asleep.
