I’m writing on cultural identity and growing up as an Asian American female in the Deep South.  Part of my research is reading about families who have adopted Asian children, the diversity of the Asian American experience across generations and overlays of culture, class, gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation.

The books I’m reading and reviewing now are:

• The Lucky Ones, Our Stories of Adopting Children from China, edited by Ann Rauhala
• Yell-Oh Girls! Emerging Voices Explore Culture, Identity and Growing Up Asian American, edited by Vickie Nam

I’ll share reflections and commentary along the way…stay tuned!
