RISE POP HISTORY OF ASIAN AMERICA FROM NINETIES TO NOW

Rise is a love letter to and for Asian Americans - a vivid scrapbook of voices, emotions, and memories from an era in which our culture was forged and transformed, and a way to preserve both the headlines and the intimate conversations that have shaped our community into who we are today. When the Hart-Celler Act passed in 1965, opening up immigration to non-Europeans, it ushered in a whole new era. Jeff Yang, Phil Yu, and Philip Wang chronicle how we've arrived at today's unprecedented diversity of Asian American cultural representation through engaging, interactive infographics, plus illustrations and graphic essays from major AAPI artists.
