Curator’s Statement by Hannah Kim

This display aims to share the vibrancy of newly released literatures by Asian American and Asian diasporic authors. It features a multi-genre range of creative expressions and focuses on marginalized groups within Asian American and Asian diasporic communities, including working class, queer, multiracial/multicultural, and adoptee narratives. Through their fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual art, and hybrid/interdisciplinary works, the authors in this collection demonstrate unique modes of inquiry, investigation, and self-representation. Together, these titles touch upon a wide array of topics, such as personal and collective grief, climate and the natural world, mental health and racial justice, arts and entertainment, language and translation, immigration and labor, coming-of-age and intergenerational dialogue, social media and digital technology, and COVID-19 and communal repair.

Book list

There is an online display of the collection in Compass.
