Contradictions

Created: Fall 2021; Revised: Spring 2022

Created for other children of immigrants in search of a connection to their culture, Contradictions is the culmination of my search for “Asian-ness.” It is a book told from the point of view of a second-generation immigrant — and through a series of anecdotes — telling the story of how life can feel like a lot of contradictions when you belong to more than one culture but that they’re cohesive contradictions that blend together to form a single identity.
