WBUR fellow Lauren Williams recommends three books in honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
WBUR arts and culture fellow Lauren Williams recommends three books to read celebrating AAPI month.
During undergrad, I did a directed study with a professor looking at resistance to racial oppression in the 20th century. My professor gave me riches of reading material, where I came across a 1930s newspaper article about Black and Japanese American solidarity in Mississippi County, Arkansas. The history was astonishing to me, and it gave my project shape.
May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and I’ll be observing it by engaging with the abundance of art and literature created by Asian Americans from across the diaspora. Let’s do it together. Below, I’ve got recommendations for poetry from Ocean Vuong, Reddi’s debut novel, and autofiction by Charles Yu. Plus, an investigation into what is owed to Hawaii, a guest essay about the migrant experience, and deep dive into some contemporary Asian American art.
