Adoption & Identity (ft. Lee Herrick, Tracy O’Neill, Matthew Salesses, Sung J. Woo, Shinhee Han)




AAWW Radio: New Asian American Writers & Literature show

Summary: In this episode of AAWW Radio, join us as four authors—Lee Herrick, Tracy O’Neill, Matthew Salesses, and Sung J. Woo-read from new books that grapple with the realities of adoption, broken families, and the journeys we take to find out where we belong. The authors discuss the identity politics that go hand-in-hand with having a white name and a Korean self, adoptee visibility, and the importance of seeing your own reflection. Moderated by Columbia Asian American Literature Professor Shinhee Han.
