Amok: Essays from an Asian American Perspective; With an Introduction by Ishmael Reed

Journalist and commentator Emil Guillermo spares few of the racial stereotypes and ethnic eccentricities of Asian Americans in this collection of columns from the pages of Asian Week. From the model minority myth to mail-order brides, from Hmong justice to political machinations, Guillermo demolishes many of the assumptions about America's fastest growing minority. Guillermo is sometimes satirically pungent, sometimes dead serious, but always an outspoken and engaging writer. He's a new voice in the on going debate on race and diversity in America.
