Beskrivelse
Asian American and Pacific Islander history is American history. The unique experiences, challenges, and contributions of AAPIs are an integral part of our country's development, but they are rarely taught in American schools.
For many Americans of Asian American or Pacific Islander descent who grew up in the United States, there continues to be a startling lack of opportunity to learn about our own history in our country. Even today, over 70% of Americans have little knowledge about AAPI history or confuse it with Asian history.
Fighting to Belong! A History of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, written by best-selling writer Amy Chu (Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Ant-Man, Iron Man), Alexander Chang, and Louie Chin, shares this important and dynamic history in an accessible and engaging graphic novel format.
In this book, our middle school protagonists Padmini, Sammy, Joe, and Tiana and their guide, Kenji, embark on an amazing journey through time to witness key events in AAPI history.
They witness the arrival of the "Manilamen" to the United States in the eighteenth century and fly though significant moments in the next 150 years. Fighting to Belong! helps new audiences young and old, AAPI and non-AAPI, across the country understand how AAPI stories are truly interwoven within the fabric of American history.
