Books to read during AAPI Month
To celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, CUESers share their favorite resources.
We’ve established that I am a reader. Previously I’ve shared books and other resources to celebrate Black History Month and Women’s History Month.
Reading helps me see how other people, both very much like me and very different from me, think and act. Through books, I can explore another place and time, learn what it’s like to live on another continent (or planet!) or work in a different profession. For some reason, I keep coming back to books about people who own or work in bookshops!
While my reading is mostly for pleasure, I believe it helps me be a better person and a better employee. Because I read so much, I might better understand why someone might react a certain way to a situation—or better understand questions to ask and avoid.
I hope you will come on a journey with me this month to better understand our Asian American and Pacific Islander colleagues, friends and community members.
