111 New Books to Read for Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month - Page 2

"In the U.S., May is the month when we shine a particular spotlight on the heritage, history, and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Of course, there's no reason to limit yourself to only one month when reading books by AAPI writers, and with this list of more than 100 new books all published or upcoming in 2022, you won't run out of great fiction and thought-provoking nonfiction for a very long time. We've cast a rather broad net this year, including works by authors from the Asian diaspora around the world as well as freshly translated titles. This isn't meant to be a comprehensive list but a sampling of books to discover across genres."
