Jeff Yang, Phil Yu & Philip Wang on RISE: A POP HISTORY OF ASIAN AMERICA FROM THE 90s TO NOW
\u201c\u2026A big part of this book is to have a more whole picture of our history here. It is the last 30 years,\xa090s\xa0to now,\xa0but we do devote a big chunk of the before as well because we want to plant those roots and say\xa0This began a long time ago. Let's at least start this conversation where we acknowledge and have a more deep understanding of our history. It doesn't all end with this book either." Jeff Yang, Phil Yu, and Philip Wang join us on the show to talk about their fabulous, beautifully illustrated new book,\xa0Rise: A Pop History of Asian America from the 90s to Now, which covers all things\u2014not just East\u2014Asian American. Jeff, Phil and Philip riff on where we\u2019re really from, things we love, what the words Asian American and representation\xa0really\xa0mean, Vincent Chin,\xa0Fresh Off the Boat\xa0and\xa0Crazy Rich Asians,\xa0Jeff and Phil\u2019s podcast\xa0They Call Us Bruce,\xa0and more with Poured Over\u2019s host, Miwa Messer.
