Becoming Badass: Forging an Asian American Identity in the space between History, Stereotype, and Family

Tired of the BS and ready for the Badass? Caught at the intersection of history, stereotype, and family, we are subject to all sorts of competing—and often conflicting—expectations and pressures about who we are, who we ought to be, and what could be, making it really hard to figure out how to be Asian, American, Asian American,…oneself? It is not enough to talk about race, it is not enough to talk about gender, it is not enough to talk about the scars of our Tiger Moms.
