Asian American Anthology: I Am An American Too!

As attacks on Asian Americans escalated in 2020, a social media group formed consisting primarily of Asian Americans. Within this community, they had the opportunity to be witnessed in their outrage, sorrow, love and desire to heal. It also became a place where grass-roots activists could agitate for change.\nThis anthology was born out of that community—gathering over 40 stories chronicling the lived experiences of Asian Americans. The contributors include Japanese whose ancestors who were incarcerated in the internment camps during WW2, fifth-generation Chinese Americans who were affected by the Chinese exclusionary act and many newer immigrants and adoptees.\nThese voices join together not as an indictment but as an invitation to the reader to witness the humanity laid bare in these stories, join the conversation and find a way to heal and honor all who proudly call themselves Americans.
