Auntie Kristina’s Guide to Asian American Activism
"The colorful layout and distinct chapter projects make this book one that can be used not only to learn about Asian Americans, but to get readers to see the larger structural issues behind racism and other issues in Asian American communities.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
by Kristina Wong, Theodore Chao, Anna Michelle Wang, Jenessa Joffe, Shehzil Malik (Illustrator)
Activism is more than just screaming with signs—it's also about discovering who we are, building spaces, and documenting our community.
Vibrant and witty, Auntie Kristina's Guide to Asian American Activism shows young readers how to love their bodies, fight for social justice, and be proud of the history that's made them who they are. Grounded in diverse lived experiences of featured Auntie Heroes and inspiring Young Rebels, this guide discusses the Asian American community, past and present; explores allyship with other communities of color; finds a place in national and global movements; and turns inward so young readers can practice love and self-care. Each chapter includes activism strategies for all kids—from those who love math and statistics to those who can't wait for their next art project.
Along with her co-creators of Radical Cram School, Kristina Wong is Auntie Kristina, accompanying readers as they process uncomfortable realities, connect to the history of Asian America, and become leaders within their own communities and beyond.
