5.0 out of 5 stars highly recommended!, Dec 9 2004
By Krystal Law - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Asian American X: An Intersection of Twenty-First Century Asian American Voices (Paperback)
A collection of moving and thought-provoking self-portraits. While the subject material and opinions of the individual pieces reveal an astonishingly diverse spectrum of personalities, one is struck by the earnestness shared by each voice in attempting to share and reflect on events and choices that have shaped their lives. To break free of the Asian mentality of staying silent is no small feat, but these authors do so with such admirable integrity and candidness making Asian American X an even more exceptional endeavor. The book leaves a wonderful aftertaste as one realizes one has unwittingly sampled a flavorful slice of American culture and inherited a better understanding of the complexities of tradition and identity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!!!, Oct 29 2004
By Grace Simmons - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Asian American X: An Intersection of Twenty-First Century Asian American Voices (Paperback)
A search for identity through the poignant stories of young Asian Americans. The selected essays unfold the Asian American experience with a remarkably inclusive approach. Asian American X tackles essential topics of race, religion, class, gender, and sexuality, as it reveals and reveres a spectrum of unheard voices. This search for Asian American voice breeds understanding, and emphasizes the depth and energy of our American culture. These young authors should be praised for their commitment to a timely dialogue.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Their voices burst with telling", Oct 23 2004
By Paul Suk-Hyun Yoon "Paul Suk-Hyun Yoon" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Asian American X: An Intersection of Twenty-First Century Asian American Voices (Paperback)
A timely piece of art. Asian American X is a collection of voices that will at times bring you to tears and at others cause a smile to wash across your face. This work is a beautiful glimpse into contemporary Asian America and reveals a richness and variety in American culture that is all too often neglected or forgotten. Read Asian American X and I guarantee you that you will never look at Asian America the same way again.
