BALANCING TWO WORLDS: ASIAN AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENTS TELL THEIR LIFE STORIES
Book ID/图书代码： 03360006B09055
English Summary/英文概要： Two Worlds highlights themes surrounding the creation of Asian American identity. This book contains fourteen first-person narratives by Asian American college students, most of whom have graduated during the first five years of the twenty-first century. Their engaging accounts detail the students’ very personal struggles with issues of assimilation, religion, sexuality, family conflicts, educational stereotypes, and being labeled the "model minority." Some of the students relate stories drawn from their childhood and adolescent experiences, while others focus more on their college experiences at Dartmouth. Anyone who wants to learn about the changing concept of race in America and what it’s like to be a young American of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Burmese, will find Balancing Two Worlds a compelling read and a valuable resource.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书的出彩之处就是关注了亚裔美籍大学生的生活故事。本书以第一人称的叙述方式，描写了十四个亚裔美国大学生在美国生活的点点滴滴，其中大部分的人这几年刚从学校毕业出来，接触社会还不满五年的时间。他们动人的叙述方式更加突出了现代学生朋友普遍的一些个人问题，涉及有同化特征，宗教，性取向，家庭纠纷，形式化教育，他们被认为是现代产物的典型一代。这十四个人中有些着重讲述了自身童年和青春期的一些故事，另外一些主要叙述了他们在英国达特茅斯的大学经历。所有那些想了解现今美国对于种族的观念，以及年轻一代的美籍华人、韩国人、越南人、缅甸人等在美国生活、工作的故事，都会发现这是一本非常值得一读的书和珍贵资料。
Awards/获奖情况："As wonderfully diverse and complex as life itself, these narratives crafted by Asian American college students and their guides unfold in the reading, and reveal identity and community, like memory and history, to be situated and fragmentary formations."—Gary Y. Okihiro, Columbia University, author of The Columbia Guide to Asian American History
