I love the Revisioining History books that focus on telling the US history through the experience of marginalized voices.
This is a unique history book as it traces the increase in violence we are seeing against Asian Americans back to the historical events that laid the path. Many history books are told chronologically but this is told reverse chronologically.
I loved this approach BUT I also had little familiarity with some of the historical events. The different history telling style plus the new events made it a little difficult for me to follow. I think I will definitely reread to try to absorb more. I feel like this is more of a "me" versus the book.
