That Asian Girl Is a Problem: Confessions of a Recovering Good Girl by Rachel Phan
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.1 mb
Overview: In a world that tells women of color they are either too much or not enough, Rachel Phan asks: What if being a “problem” is actually the point?
That Asian Girl Is a Problem is a bold, witty, and uncompromising collection about what it means to live as a racialized woman in spaces that were never built for you. Drawing from her own experiences, Phan dives into the contradictions of being the “problem” woman in the workplace, in family, in faith, in marriage and even in her own body. With sharp humor and unflinching honesty, she exposes the absurdity of a society that demands gratitude, silence and smallness from women of color—and explores what happens when they finally refuse.
From a court transcript satirizing how racialized women are “tried” for being too much at work, to a tongue-in-cheek recipe for the perfect Asian female body, to searing reflections on filial pity, interracial marriage, queerness and imposter syndrome, That Asian Girl Is a Problem blends memoir, cultural critique and playful experimentation to expose the pressures racialized women face—and the thrill of living on your own terms.
