Book Club is an opportunity for students to self-select books that mirror their Vietnamese-American and Mexican-American experience as it relates to their cultural identity as well as foster a love of reading. As they select their texts in small groups, they will be able to dialogue with each other and read new material they would otherwise not be exposed to as a majority of our books are written from a male White-centered perspective.
By seeing their own identity as well as the identity of often ignored cultures, students will be given a window into other cultures that they have not been previously exposed to. In I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, students will read all the complexities that come with living in two different and often conflicting cultures here in the United States. How Much These Hills is Gold reexamines the Gold Rush but through the eyes of a Chinese-American family.
