The Accidental Asian: Notes of a Native Speaker by Eric Liu

4.0

---

Thoughtful collection of essays on identity and race. Eric Liu asks good rhetorical questions about the ongoing change in American identity and even though this book is over 15 years old, the questions are still valid today. Liu, a former speechwriter for President Clinton, is an intelligent writer who deftly handles the race card from a variety of angles and perspectives. From start to finish, I was compelled by his exploration of second generation Asian American/Pacific Islander identity issues.
