  and hopeful thought pieces on the experience of growing up Asian American
 \, for fans of&nbsp\;Minor Feelings.</p>\n<p>There are 23 million people\,
  representing more than twenty countries\, each with unique languages\, hi
 stories\, and cultures\, clumped under one banner: Asian American. Though 
 their experiences are individual\, certain commonalities appear.</p>\n<p>-
 The pressure to perform and the weight of the model minority myth.<br />-T
 he proximity to whiteness (for many) and the resulting privileges.<br />-T
 he desexualizing\, exoticizing\, and fetishizing of their bodies.<br />-Th
 e microaggressions.<br />-The erasure and overt racism.</p>\n<p>Through a 
 series of essays\, poems\, and comics\, thirty creators give voice to mome
 nts that defined them and shed light on the immense diversity and complexi
 ty of the Asian American identity. Edited by CAPE and with an introduction
  by renowned journalist SuChin Pak\,&nbsp\;My Life: Growing Up Asian in Am
 erica&nbsp\;is a celebration of community\, a call to action\, and a road 
 map for a brighter future.</p>\n<p>Featuring contributions from bestsellin
