Conversations With Two and a Half Asians Thai M. Tran + Ann Shi + Chris Abbas
-
- Society & Culture
Two and a half Asian friends --- Ann, Chris, and Thai --- come from very different flavors of the Asian American experience. They explore their pasts growing up Asian in the Western world, how that influences their place in the day-to-day of an overwhelmingly white culture, and hopefully figure out a thing or two about themselves. Part group therapy and part sounding board, Conversations With Two and a Half Asians hopes to share American life as viewed through a hyphenated Asian-American prism.
