AAPI Booklist Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month May 2021 Booklist compiled by: Ms. Lewis-Lockhart, Head Librarian In addition to the on-campus library spotlight on AAPI authors, here’s even more works by AAPI writers for young adults. Most of these books were published in the last few years, but there are some classics mixed in as well. Maybe you’ll find a new favorite below. If you find something you like, don’t hesitate to let us know by emailing [email protected]. Happy Reading! Books featured on Instagram for AAPI Heritage Month... No-No Boy by John Okada No-No Boy is called a classic of Asian American literature for good reason. When it was written in 1957, a decade after WWII, it was one of the first books to feature a distinctly Japanese-American perspective. While the world may not have been ready for it then, in the 1970s, a new generation embraced the work, and it has been at the heart of Asian-American literature ever since. The story tells the story of Ichiro Yamada, a so-called no-no boy, a Japanese American who answered “no” twice to the US War Department’s government questionnaire asking whether he would serve in the armed forces and swear unqualified allegiance to the country that had his family in an internment camp. Subsequently, he was jailed for two years. He comes back to a world where he does not know his place. This character-driven book shows a nuanced portrayal of multiple perspectives of Japanese Americans following the war. Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng This mystery novel centers around a Chinese-American family in 1970s small-town Ohio. When Lydia, the beloved daughter of Marilyn and James Lee, is found dead in a local lake, the family is thrown into chaos. Part suspense, part exploration of gender, race, identity, and alienation, part emotionally complex portrayal of a tight-knit but troubled family, this book is a precisely written, evocative, page-turner. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami Considered one of Murakami’s masterpieces, this magical realism novel is a detective story, first about a missing cat and then about a missing wife. It is also about finding and navigating through a spiritual world that is underneath Tokyo, the effects of war on the Japanese consciousness, philosophy, and the number of bald men at the train station. The dreamlike quality of the narrative draws the reader in and takes them on a fascinating and unexpected journey. Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi This is a critically-acclaimed graphic novel in which Satrapi recounts her life growing up in Iran during the Islamic revolution and then the war with Iraq. She weaves her own rich family history with that of her country. Both heartbreaking and inspiring, this comic has laugh-out-loud funny moments and can move a reader to tears. This book is important, beautifully written, and beautifully illustrated. The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen A man of two faces and two minds. This is how the anonymous narrator of The Sympathizer describes himself. He is a man of dualities. He has a French father and Vietnamse mother. Vietnamese raised but American educated. He’s a North Vietnamese spy who has become trusted by the South Vietnamese army. In the US, he is an immigrant who ends up playing many roles, including movie consultant and academic. The novel is both tragic and comedic and at times absurd. Nguyen uses biting wit to provide social commentary on war, identity, and media. Pulitzer Prize Winner, 2016. A Step From Heaven by An Na This book follows the perspective of a girl named Young Ju from the age of four when she is an optimistic child until early adulthood when she has become a hardened young woman. The journey takes her and her family from a small fishing village in Korea to the United States. America turned out to not be the paradise Young Ju imagined. A tear-jerking novel about familial hardship, immigration, and growing up. If you like romantic comedies, you might enjoy: Super Fake Love Song by David Yoon When self-proclaimed nerd Sunny Dae finds himself crushing on cool and confident Cirrus Soh, he finds himself lying about being in a band to impress her. At first he’s just dressing the part, but as he leans into his new “rockstar” persona he finds himself popular for the first time in his life. What will happen when his lies start to catch up with him? Check out this fun rom-com about a fake band and maybe real love. More Than Just a Pretty Face by Syed M. Masood Attractive, but not especially bright, Danyal Jilani is an aspiring chef with a father who doesn’t approve of his future career choice and a crush on a girl whose family doesn’t think he is arranged-marriage material for their perfect daughter. He decided to enter his school’s Renaissance Man academic competition to prove he’s smarter than everyone thinks. He recruits the school’s resident smart girl, Bisma, to help him train. She’s not his type and she seems immune to his good looks. But the more time they spend together, Danyal finds that maybe love is closer than he realized. I'll Be the One by Lyla Lee A fun, body-positive romcom set in the world of K-Pop. All her life Skye Shin has been told that fat girls shouldn’t dance or call attention to themselves, but she won’t let detractors stop her from competing in an international reality competition looking for the next K-pop star. Can Skye survive the drama, media scrutiny, and surprises in the world of reality TV and become the world’s first plus-sized K-pop star? Looking for realism? You should try: Parachutes by Kelly Yang Parachutes: teens whose wealthy parents drop them off to live in the United States while their parents remain in Asia. Claire never thought she’d be one. Then, she begins sharing a home with Dani, the daughter of a single mother who rents rooms to parachutes. Despite being polar opposites, the girls have more in common than they think as they navigate wealth, friendship, and trauma. The book’s drama and intrigue is similar to Gossip Girl while also being a modern immigrant story that examines pressing social issues in a compelling and thoughtful way. Darius the Great Is Not Okay by Adib Khorram “Darius Kellner doesn’t think he’ll ever be enough in America or Iran.” Darius has never felt connected to his Persian heritage, but when he takes a trip to Iran he starts to learn more about his family, his culture, and himself than he ever knew. Darius finds a new best friend in a neighbor in Iran, who teaches him about soccer and Persian identity. It’s a beautiful story of friendship, mental health, and learning it’s okay to not be okay. Love From A to Z by S.K. Ali Zayneb is the only Muslim in her class, and she isn’t afraid to stand up to her teacher when he makes hateful comments about Muslims. But when her suspension also gets her friends in trouble, she decides to spend spring break in Qatar and practice being “nicer.” While his father and sister are grieving his mother, Adam plays the role of strong and reliable son. In reality, he’s stopped going to school and is keeping his diagnosis of multiple sclerosis from them. The only place Adam and Zayneb can be honest is in their journals. But, then they meet and everything changes. Told from both characters' point of view with alternating journal entries. A Time to Dance by Padma Venkatraman Written entirely in verse, this book tells the story of Veda, an Indian dance prodigy. She’s heartbroken when she has an accident that results in a below-the-knee amputation. But even with her new disability, she refuses to give up, even if that means she has to start learning how to dance again from scratch. With beautiful lyricism, A Time to Dance is all about art, spirituality, and resilience. Language of the Geckos and Other Stories by Gary Pak This multicultural short story collection offers us the diverse perspectives and internal lives of a group of Native Hawaiians and Asian Hawaiian characters who are both connected and unconnected. The characters deal with failed dreams, aging, and the haunted past of both Hawaii and the many places the characters hail from. Plenty of Hawaii Creole in the dialogue. This title is filled with emotionally complex characters and beautiful symbolism. If you like historical fiction, you might like: The Downstairs Girl by Stacy Lee (Founding member of We Need Diverse Books) In the post-Reconstruction-era South, 17-year-old Jo Kuan has a secret. By day, she’s a maid to one of the wealthiest families in Atlanta, but in her off time she’s Miss Sweetie the anonymous author of a popular advice column for the genteel Southern lady.

  • Gossip Girl Viral Promotion Problem Statement
    Group 4 - Round Table Media Case 14-1: Gossip Girl Viral Promotion Problem Statement: The CW’s show Gossip Girl has lost live viewers, which decreases the value of the advertising spots available during the show. The network seeks to increase live viewership by incentivizing viewers via a creative, viral campaign to watch Gossip Girl live instead of recording the show and watching it later. Critical Factors: A. The primary target market for this campaign is women, 18-24 years of age. The CW is the only network capturing women in this target. The secondary target market is college males. B. Increased use of digital video recorders, websites streaming television shows, and services like DirecTV and Tivo means that viewers are choosing to record shows and watch them later, and can fast forward through commercials.1 C. The CW has requested this campaign be a non-traditional and outside-the-box publicity and promotional campaign. The CW network executives highly admired Jack in the Box’s “Hang in There Jack” campaign and its use of non-traditional media. D. The CW Network has fourteen weeks to launch a viral Gossip Girl media campaign before the next season premiere, then the campaign will continue while Gossip Girl airs. E. Gossip Girl emphasizes fashion and technology, and is influential in these industries. F. The success of the promotional campaign will be measured by changes in ratings during the time of the campaign, and hopefully will result in a significant increase in ratings. G. Gossip Girl is one of The CW’s most popular series, so it is understood that we are working with a large budget.

  • We Are All Gossip Girl”: Gossip Girl and the Promise of Interactive Television
    PREVIOUSLY ON “We are all Gossip Girl”: Gossip Girl and the Promise of Interactive Television Elisa Lange In November 2010, Current TV, a cable network founded by former Vice President Al Gore, has started airing a 30 minute TV series called Bar Karma, which is created in online collaboration with fans and is thus a new step to truly participatory and interactive TV. On a website users can pitch storylines, comment on submitted entries, talk to the producers, and contribute marketing ideas. The show is co-produced by SimCity creator Will Wright and features well-known actors like William Sanderson (http://current.com/studios/about/). Of course, there is no guarantee that the fans’ story idea will find its way into the actual show since the producers and writers still hold the power to decide how and if a pitch is worked into the final product. Still, this project allows viewer to have more than an imaginary control over the televised narrative even if the project’s success still remains to be seen. Still, interactivity rarely plays out on the primary level of the TV program itself, but more commonly on the secondary level and tertiary level of the televisual text, that is network created websites that allow some contributions from fans and unregulated communications between fans (Fiske, 1983: 85). Interactivity within the TV landscape is often associated with the viewers’ ability to turn from passive consumers into active producers of content that “adds” to the televised narrative but does not change it (Hassapopoulou, 2010: 48). This distinction usually does not to take into account that even when viewers are passively sitting on their couch watching soap operas, their minds are still actively engaged in making sense of the narratives and relationships.
