From our friends at the Boston Public LibraryFor the second year in row, the BPL asked community members to help create a list of books for APAH month.
While no one book (or even hundreds of books!) could fully reflect the diversity of the Asian American experience, they hope that this selection of recent releases will highlight current Asian American representation in print. We think it is a pretty great start.
