Book Review: “Go Home”
APALA
(2018)
Abstract
The book takes its title from an epithet commonly thrown at Asians and Asian Americans, implying that we do not belong in the United States, regardless of residence, citizenship, or self-identification. In response to the epithet, the pieces in this collection explore the personal and political dimensions of the phrase “Go home.” In the face of an often-impossible, generally hate-filled command, the pieces here explore questions such as “What is home?” “Am I there?” “Can I go back?” and “Do I want to?” The collection encompasses a variety of genres and styles, including poetry, prose, fiction, and memoir. Because of this range, a wide variety of readers should be able to find pieces that appeal to them.
