Biting the Hand: Growing Up Asian in Black and White America by Julia Lee

challenging medium-paced

3.0

The first quarter was pretty interesting, but then the rest of the book felt kind of rinse and repeat. Every chapter had the same recipe: historical event, pull quotes, personal anecdote, analysis and conclusions. It wasn't a bad book, but I think the intended audience is a little bit older and it made it hard for me to relate to. The ending also didn't really have a CTA. Like obviously we know we shouldn't pit BIPOC groups against each other, but what else is there to takeaway?
