Biting the Hand: Growing Up Asian in Black and White America by Julia Lee

5.0

Wow I loved this book!  Lee writes about how white supremacy has shaped her life as a Korean American. Divided into three sections, Rage, Shame, Grace. Jamaica Kincaid became the author's mentor in the African American studies dept and said to her, you must bite the hand that feeds you. Kudos for the section in the end that gives a nod to Gerald Vizenor's idea of survivance.
