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.<\/p>\n<h2>Book list<\/h2>\n<p>There is <a href=\"https:\/\/bowdoin.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/discovery\/collectionDiscovery?vid=01CBB_BOWC:BOWDOIN&amp;collectionId=81104361710008043\">an online display of the collection in Compass<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2023-24 BIPOC Book Display, &#8220;Asian America and Asian Diasporas,&#8221; curated by Hannah Kim, &#8217;24, opened with a kickoff event on Friday, October 13 at Hawthorne-Longfellow.
