New Books on Asian and Pacific American History and Life

This Asian/Pacific American (APA) Heritage Month, news of mounting discrimination and violence against Asian Americans has been drawing increased attention to the experiences of this community, past and present. As shutdowns and social distancing recommendations lead Americans to spend more time at home, now is the perfect time to deepen our understanding of the richness of Asian American and Pacific Islander American history, as well as the community’s immense resilience and creativity. The following five books released within the last year offer a rich complement to Facing History’s curricular materials for any educator eager to learn more about the struggles, resilience, and triumphs of APA peoples.
