Alex Tizon's family emigrated from the Philippines when he was four. He quickly learned to be ashamed of his face, his color, his physical size. In movies and on television he saw Asian men as 'servants, villains, or geeks, one-dimensional, powerless, sneaky little men.' His fierce and funny observations of sex and the Asian American male include the story of his own college life in the 1980s, a tortured tutorial on just how little sex appeal accrued to the Asian man. And then, two transformations. First, Tizon's growing understanding that shame is universal; that his own just happened to take racial shape. Next, seismic cultural changes--from Xiu Xiang's 2004 Olympic gold-winning sprint, to Jerry Yang's phenomenal success with Yahoo! Inc., to Keanu Reeves' leading-man status in The Matrix--that draw him out of his exile. Finally, Tizon's deeply original, taboo-bending investigation turns outward, tracking the unheard stories of young men today, in a landscape still complex but much changed for the Asian American man"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89507 Tizon Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.89507 Tizon Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89507 Tizon Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Tizon Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89507 Tizon Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Biography B Tizon Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList
