Journal Entry 1 by itpdx from Portland, Oregon USA on Friday, May 7, 2010
Eric Liu, a former speech writer for President Clinton, is the son of Chinese immigrants to the US. In this memoir, he describes his life and reflects on what it means to be Chinese and American. He riffs on race, minorities, culture, and people of mixed-race (He has married a white woman who has a Jewish grandmother).
His descriptions of his family and his experiences growing up in white suburban US are wonderful. His thoughts on immigrants, race and culture are not very coherent.
The cover is perfect.
