Beschreibungen/Notizen
In the introduction to our last volume of AALDP, "Reading, Writing, and Teaching in the Whirlwind," I wrote about the many issues that we are collectively facing as teachers and readers of Asian American Literature, including Covid-inspired anti-Asian violence and political attacks on race as a topic for academic analysis. Since her class overlapped the content of mine and had a higher maximum enrollment, I cancelled my own class and asked my students to join the Film and Literature course. A unit on the origins of the Vietnamese diaspora included Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer, Andrew Lam's "Grandma's Tales," and the Bui brothers' film Green Dragon. [...]I ended up with three Asian American Pulitzer Prize-winning authors in one class and many works by authors who had once lived in or wrote about the same country as my students: [...]they also pointed out that in a survey of both incoming students and parents, only about a quarter of students believe that there is a stigma to seeking help for mental health issues as compared to their parents' generation.
