-Titulo Original : I Love Yous Are For White People A Memoir
-Fabricante :
Harper Perennial
-Descripcion Original:
In I Love You Are for White People, author Lac Su offers a face--his face--as a window into the experiences of impoverished Asian refugees. Su recounts the formative events of his childhood and adolescence, all of which bear the theme of searching for love and community within the confines of racial identity and socioeconomic status. From an academic perspective, many facets of Sus memoir are pregnant with social commentary but Su maintains focus on the humanistic aspects of his familys stories . . . emboldening us with the initiative to create a more hospitable America.- Leung, Chung (2014) Book Review: I Love Yous Are for White People, Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences: Vol. 36, Article 2. Stanford University, CA, USA Review The striking title of the writer Lac Sus memoir is I Love Yous Are for White People, which explores the emotional devastation wreaked on one Vietnamese family by its refugee experiences. I share some of Lac Sus background, and it has been a lifelong effort to learn how to say, without awkwardness, I love you. I can do this for my son, and it is heartfelt, but it comes with an effort born of the self-consciousness I still feel when I say it to my father or brother.- Viet Thanh Nguyen, 2016 Pulitzer Prize Author for Fiction, Edgar Award for Best First Novel, and Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. Author of THE SYMPATHIZER: A NOVEL, RACE AND RESISTANCE, AND NOTHING EVER DIES For second-generation, American-born/raised folks like myself, author Lac Su totally nailed it: we first felt a collective wave of PTSD--Parental Trauma Stress Disorder--sweep over us as we recognized slivers from our childhood reflected . . . I wont regale you with stories from my own tiger mother issues but suffice to say, shards of those proscriptions hit home closer than Id care to admit.- Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE, BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME, AND WE WERE EIGHT YEARS IN POWERI Love Yous are for White People is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. A breath-taking journey about beauty and love.- Dave Pelzer, author of A CHILD CALLED IT and recipient of the National Jefferson award I LOVE YOUS ARE FOR WHITE PEOPLE by Lac Su is that rare combination of a miraculous yet true story that also happens to be masterfully written. The authors account of his familys nightmarish escape from Viet Nam, on foot, under heavy gunfire, and then by boat - told sparingly and unforgettably - sets the stage on which the rest of his story spools out with such a flow that you forget you are in the act of reading. Lac Su has told a brave story that is also a cautionary tale that should be read by many, showing us the way to how our youth - immigrant and otherwise - can come to know their true worth. - Mim Eichler Rivas, author of BEAUTIFUL JIM KEY, coauthor of FINDING FISH with Antwone Fisher and coauthor of THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS with Chris Gardner The book debunks the seemingly positive myth of Asian Americans as a model minority, substantiates certain negative stereotypes of Asian men, and challenges some of the classic Asian values that apparently have shaped the Asian American identity. I argue that Sus memoir is a critique of structural inequalities, urban poverty, unemployment, inaccessibility to a support network, and the intersection between class, gender, and race in the contexts of war and its aftermath.- Ha, Quan-Manh (2016) Domestic Violence in Lac Sus I Love Yous Are for White People: A Sociological Criticism Approach, Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies: Vol. 7, Article 9. In I Love Yous are for White People, Lac Su has given us the ultimate in memoir. A remarkable story full of sweetness, pain, but most of all, hope.- Tish Cohen, author of TOWN HOUSE and INSIDE OUT GIRL.
