03 Mar / American Eyes: New Asian-American Short Stories for Young Adults edited by Lori M. Carlson [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
A collection of 10 short works about young Asian Americans coming of age, coming to terms with an identity comprised of two very different cultures. Stories range from a young Chinese American girl obsessed with being blonde, an adopted Korean American searching for her biological Korean parents, and a Vietnamese American boy who loses the girl but rediscovers his family.
Short, easy-to-read stories and excerpt from longer works, especially appropriate for young adult readers. Includes a short, witty introduction by Cynthia Kadohata, author of the adult novels, Floating World and In the Heart of the Valley of Love.
