Reviews
"This brilliant and beautiful book is a moving tribute to Asian Pacific American contributions, challenges, and triumphs. Vivid illustrations and insightful commentaries on the stunning objects introduce readers to the incredible diversity of Asian Pacific American experiences and their centrality in American history." -- Catherine Ceniza Choy, author of Asian American Histories of the United States " Smithsonian Asian Pacific American History, Art, and Culture in 101 Objects gathers the wide expanse of our boundless creativity and the evidence of hard-won survival. In these objects and the poignant meditations that accompany them, the ordinary and the magnificent, the tragic and the joyous, the intimate and the universal tell the powerful stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Feel the bold touch of our ancestors, trace the broad contours of how we are shaping the present, and see the signs of our shared future." -- Jeff Chang, author of Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America "History is more than just dates--it's about being able to relate to our past. Asian Pacific American history, long underrepresented and undertaught, can be especially hard to bring to life. Luckily, Theodore Gonzalves has given us a monumental gift in Smithsonian Asian Pacific American History, Art, and Culture in 101 Objects that uses the vast Smithsonian collections to animate our stories." -- Hari Kondabolu, comedian and write r, BOOKLIST, STARRED REVIEW "Each story is designed to be specific, while drawing on the Asian American community as a whole. The color pictures and compelling text will keep readers browsing more stories and spending time exploring other objects in the book. [...] The book aims to entice readers to explore the history and challenges, at a human level, of the Asian American community in America." SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL , STARRED REVIEW "Objects are presented on a full-color spread with a photograph on one page and a short essay on the other. Some entries explain the cultural significance of the object, while some use the object as a springboard to a broader topic. The Smithsonian was founded with a mass collection of specimens brought back from a U.S. Naval expedition in the Pacific and Asia. A beautiful book that offers an intriguing introduction to many facets of the Asian Pacific American experience." INTERNATIONAL EXAMINER "The collection of artifacts in Gonzalves' anthology are like a microcosm for the collective AAPI community: Different but similar in so many ways, with our histories overlapping one another. Just like the diverse AAPI community, each carefully chosen object in this anthology carries its own unique story about where it came from and how it came to be. However, when seen as a collective, common themes emerge, like tragedy, belonging, resistance and solidarity, and community. These themes are what connect us together." "This brilliant and beautiful book is a moving tribute to Asian Pacific American contributions, challenges, and triumphs. Vivid illustrations and insightful commentaries on the stunning objects introduce readers to the incredible diversity of Asian Pacific American experiences and their centrality in American history." -- Catherine Ceniza Choy, author of Asian American Histories of the United States " Smithsonian Asian Pacific American History, Art, and Culture in 101 Objects gathers the wide expanse of our boundless creativity and the evidence of hard-won survival.
