02 Mar / Songs My Mother Taught Me: Stories, Plays, and Memoir by Wakako Yamauchi [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]

Songs My Mother Taught MeA rich collection of stories, plays, and memoir that span over 35 years by one of the pioneer voices of Asian America. Yamauchi is best known for her play, And the Soul Shall Dance, based on her own short story of the same name, about two neighboring migrant Japanese American families trying to find a new life in their adopted land.

As one of the first important voices of Asian American fiction and drama, Yamauchi’s stories have been widely anthologized and her plays produced throughout the country. Ironically, in spite of her pioneering status, this collection is her first.
