Staff Picks: Telling Our Truths: Asian and Pacific Islander Memoirs
Second Floor
"Asian and Pacific Islander Memoirs is a powerful collection of memoirs and personal histories that highlight the diverse voices and lived experiences of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the month of May. Through firsthand accounts, these narratives explore themes of immigration, identity, family, resilience, and the complexities of navigating multiple cultures. From childhoods shaped by displacement or assimilation, to reckonings with grief, heritage, or activism, each story offers an intimate window into what it means to belong—and not belong. Whether recounting life in wartime Burma, surviving the Khmer Rouge, or growing up biracial in rural America, these voices challenge stereotypes and affirm the importance of telling one’s own story."
