About this product

Product Information

Asian-Australians are kwn to each other and the outside world by many labels: Quiet Achiever. FOB. Gangster Chigger. Mainlander. Banana. But are these labels based on some degree of truth, or only fiction? What is it like to grow up Asian in Australia? Unpredictable, honest, reflective and irreverent, this collection throws out the cliches and takes us behind the stereotypes. A young man tentatively steps towards manhood with Mariah Carey blasting in his ears, while two primary-school misfits stage a playground revolt. A white Australian woman describes mothering her adopted Asian son, and a teenage boy learns all about philandering from his visiting uncles. Here are respected public figures as well as exciting new voices, drawn from all walks of life and spanning several generations. With insight, courage and a large dose of humour, they shed new light on what it is like to grow up Asian, and Australian.

A very good read.
This is compulsory reading for my daughter doing year 12 VCE and it involves stories that give a further understanding to the context area she is studying - identity and belonging. Actually the stories are really interesting and even if you were not studying the book, would find it a good read.I read it as a parent just wanting to keep up with what my daughter was doing, but became engrossed. Each story has a different theme and they are really engaging. I thoroughly recommend it.

Great way to buy text books.
This book was bought as a prerequisite for vce english holiday reading.It was only bought because it had to be. it was as interesting read, certainly opening one's eyes to the struggles faced by newcomers to this country. We certainly got a bargain through ebay.
