116 Essential New Books to Read for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
- Page 3
It's May, and in the U.S. that means it's Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, dedicated to celebrating the culture, history, and contributions of those with Asian and Pacific Island backgrounds.
In honor of the monthlong celebration, we've compiled this collection of essential books from authors of Asian and Pacific Islander heritage, published within the last decade. This list features a mix of beloved reader picks, critical darlings, and books that busted open their genres for other AAPI writers. Given the size of the AAPI diaspora across the globe, this is by no means a comprehensive list but rather a sampling of books to discover from across genres: historical fiction, nonfiction, mysteries, romance, horror, short stories, etc.
