 Hi, I'm Catherine Sinisa Choi and I'm going to be at the Filipino American International Book Festival, reading from my new book, Asian American Histories of the United States. The book features the themes of anti-Asian hate and violence, the erasure of Asian American history, and Asian American resistance to what has been omitted in a nearly 200-year history of Asian migration, labor, and community formation in the United States. I wrote the book with a sense of personal urgency and much love and respect for our Asian American communities. You can check out the book at the San Francisco Public Library and at your local indie bookstore.
