Sansei and Sensibility
Sansei and Sensibility | Karen Tei Yamashita
6 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
In these buoyant and inventive stories, Karen Tei Yamashita transfers classic tales across boundaries and questions what an inheritancefamilial, cultural, emotional, artisticreally means. In a California of the sixties and seventies, characters examine the contents of deceased relatives' freezers, tape-record high school locker-room chatter, or collect a community's gossip while cleaning the teeth of its inhabitants. Mr. Darcy is the captain of the football team, Mansfield Park materializes in a suburb of L.A., bake sales replace ballroom dances, and station wagons, not horse-drawn carriages, are the preferred mode of transit. The stories of traversing class, race, and gender leap into our modern world with and humor.

Time for a readathon with @Andrew65 #AwesomeAugust hopefully will get me finishing some books I‘ve been a bit stuck this month as I‘ve been out a bit more and not finishing as many books as usual. Hoping to finish my current reads: Sansei and Sensibility, One Dark and Stormy Knight, The Lost Apothecary, Wings of Fire, Tweet Cute and The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding.

Andrew65 Good luck 😊👍 3y

As I consider our shared history it becomes more and more glaring to recognize the history of oppression from the old west to Japanese Internment to Vietnamese Immigration, and countless other impacts on this culture never considered in my education. So here is an article: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/g35885208/asian-american-books/
Anyone want to share books they loved or are on their TBR to support growing engagement in this group

TheBookHippie Check out this list Asian Pacific Islander Picture Chapter Books from Here Wee Read https://www.amazon.com/shop/hereweeread?listId=196FUUY6G1G6U&ref=inf_list_pub_he... 4y
Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie your amazing! Thank you! 4y
Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie also- I bought The Warrior Goddess and hope to read it and use it once my schoolwork for the semester is done. Do you have a large migrant camp in your area? I‘m looking for ways to get more involved with mental health support for children and families once I finish school. 4y
TheBookHippie Yes -we have 4 in my area. They are seasonal generally. We run a summer school for them June - August and other kids come in and out of our title one public schools most are gone January to spring break then they are here April/May until December usually it‘s Texas/Mexico/Michigan in a circular motion. Covid changed it a bit, Trump changed it a lot, now we start fresh again. Lots of ICE raids under Trump so many were lost. Most kids are citizens. 4y
TheBookHippie Parents weren‘t citizens so kids ended up in foster care or with relatives. It was heart wrenching. 4y

Just read the Sense & Sensibility short story adaptation from Pt II of this collection just published by Karen Tei Yamashita. I‘m not sure what I just read. 🤣🤣 That was...interesting!

Reads like fan fic, and kind of hilarious, but with a few moments of social commentary if you stop and think (Lucy is described as a hapa girl, and that is the reason she is rejected by “Eddie‘s” family).

#PemberLittens this was a quick 10 min read on Hoopla!

Why not add a collection of short stories to the four books I already have in progress. Apparently finishing books right now is not happening for me. 🤷‍♀️
