Requests:  0 Summary:  "When Julia was fifteen, her hometown went up in smoke during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The daughter of Korean immigrant store owners in a predominantly Black neighborhood, Julia was taught to be grateful for the privilege afforded to her. However, the acquittal of four white police officers in the beating of Rodney King, following the murder of Latasha Harlins by a Korean shopkeeper, forced Julia to question her racial identity and complicity. She was neither Black nor white. So who was she? This question would follow Julia for years to come, resurfacing as she traded in her tumultuous childhood for the white upper echelon of elite academia. It was only when she began a PhD in English that she found answers--not in the Brontës or Austen, as Julia had planned, but rather in the brilliant prose of writers like James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. Their works gave Julia the vocabulary and, more important, the permission to critically examine her own tortured position as an Asian American, setting off a powerful journey of racial reckoning, atonement, and self-discovery that has shaped her adult life. With prose by turns scathing and heart-wrenching, Julia Lee lays bare the complex disorientation and shame that stems from this country's imposed racial hierarchy to argue that Asian Americans must leverage their liminality for lasting social change alongside Black and brown communities"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 979.494 Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.494 Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.494 Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.494 Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Le Claimed Returned 08/22/2023 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.494 Lee Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
