SUMMARY:Asian American is Not a Color by Dr. OiYan A. Poon with Kimmy Yam
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Poon and award-winning journalist Kimmy Yam as they discuss race relations and inequality\, affirmative action\, and diversity and nuances of the Asian American experience. No RSVP required. \nBook\, Asian American is Not a Color by Dr. OiYan A. Poon:  A mother and race scholar seeks to answer her daughter’s many questions about race and racism with an earnest exploration into race relations and affirmative action from the perspectives of Asian Americans \nBefore being struck down by the US Supreme Court in June 2023\, affirmative action remained one of the few remaining policy tools to address racial inequalities\, revealing the peculiar contours of racism and anti-racist strategies in America. Through personal reflective essays for and about her daughter\, OiYan Poon looks at how the debate over affirmative action reveals the divergent ways Asian Americans conceive of their identity. With moving sincerity and insightful study\, Poon combines extensive research with personal narratives from both herself and a diverse swath of individuals across the Asian American community to reflect on and respond to her daughter’s central question: What does it mean to be Asian American? \nPoon conducts interviews with Asian Americans throughout the US who have been actively engaged in policy debates over race-conscious admissions or affirmative action. Through these exchanges\, she finds that Asian American identity remains deeply unsettled in a contest between those invested in reaching the top of the racial hierarchy alongside whiteness and those working toward a vision of justice and humanity co-constructed through cross-racial solidarity. \nPoon uses these contrasting viewpoints to guide her conversations with her daughter\, providing a heartfelt and optimistic look at how understanding the diversity and nuances of the Asian American experience can help us envision a more equitable future.
