This book should be required reading. Eye-opening. My understanding of US history has been completely transformed. #readoverthis #overthis #diversereads

BarbaraTheBibliophage My husband is Asian American (third generation). This is definitely on my 2017 TBR. 8y

Halfway through and this book is breaking my heart. So difficult to learn about the violent racism exacted against so many different Asian immigrant groups, as well as the exclusionary policies both the US and Canada supported. Heartbreaking, but a necessary education. Heartbreaking because it feels all too familiar. Have we learned nothing from our history? #readdiversebooks #overthis #readoverthis

BookishMarginalia That's why we need to read and learn about these things that break our hearts (including current news) #WeHoldTheLine 8y
valeriegeary @BookishMarginalia This is so true, and I agree! 8y

8little_paws @Riveted_Reader_Melissa yeah I keep going back and forth about adding it or just getting it from the library. 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @8little_paws That's always the dilemma isn't it! I usually opt for the library when I can, and then on rare occasions, the book is so good I'll look for it on sales later too. 8y
TheNextBook Buying this right now for the Nook! 8y
EchoLogical How did I miss this sale?! 8y

Fed up with the lack of Asian and female representation in her American textbooks, the author of this essay studies abroad in China for a year to get back to her roots, hopefully to connect more with what was missing in the US. Instead, she realizes this. (totally meant to post this as a quote, my bad) #asianamerican #nonfictionnovember #overthis #readoverthis
