Hardback. Zustand: Good. Amplify! My Fight for Asian America offers a meaningful look at the real stories behind the headlines, providing Asian Americans and allies of all backgrounds a vital resource to broaden their perspective on anti-Asian hate and contribute to positive social transformation.February 24, 2020, started out like any other day for journalist and television anchor Dion Lim of San Francisco?s ABC News. Planning her pitches for the morning?s editorial meeting, she checked her Instagram account and saw a message from someone she didn?t recognize. Attached was a horrifying video in which men were beating and yelling racist slurs at an elderly Asian man who had been collecting cans in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. Lim felt compelled to investigate the story, help the man who ?looked freakishly like my dad,? and bring the perpetrators to justice. Thus began Lim?s four-years-and-counting quest to bring attention to the appalling rise of anti-Asian hate and violence in America. Amplify! My Fight for Asian America brings readers on an eye-opening journey alongside Lim, who has unwittingly become a national hero for her relentless fight for Asian American visibility. Through deeply personal anecdotes about her own life as a Chinese American, exclusive interviews with survivors, activists, and historians, and incisive historical context, she provides the very first book to tackle one of the biggest political and social controversies of this century from the perspective of the AAPI community.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. "I have watched every Dumbfoundead battle so many times that I have most of the insults memorized."?Jay Caspian Kang, The New Yorker ?Jonnie ?Dumbfoundead? Park's story is the definition of winning life on hard mode: Start as an undocumented Korean immigrant from Argentina and become a once-in-a-generation battle rapper and artist in Los Angeles.??Ronny Chieng, ComedianSPIT is the raw and electrifying memoir of Jonnie Park?better known by his rap moniker, Dumbfoundead?whose rise from an unruly childhood in Los Angeles?s iconic Koreatown to international rap stardom is as unlikely as it is exhilarating.Born in Argentina to Korean parents and smuggled by a coyote across the US-Mexico border at age three, Park grew up in L.A. amid cultural dislocation, his father?s violent alcoholism, and the turbulent protests and riots of the early 1990s. Searching for belonging, he found salvation in the highly competitive underground world of battle rap, where he was among the only successful Asian American battle rappers. He honed his freestyle superpowers at Project Blowed, the legendary South Central L.A. open-mic venue, amid a motley crew of characters who took him in as one of their own. Told through the lens of his life?s greatest battles?his father?s rage, racist stereotypes, the ?model minority? myth, the pressures of fame, and his own addictions?Park tells his story with his trademark humor, lyrical style, and unflinching honesty.Like Eminem?s 8 Mile, SPIT charts the author?s course from high-school dropout to cultural pioneer, one verse at a time. Featuring a dozen vivid graphic novel?style illustrations that bring his journey to life, SPIT visualizes the inner demons and outer adversaries Park faced along the way. From open-mics in South Central to freestyle cyphers in Seoul to music festivals across the globe, Park?s memoir is a testament to creativity, grit, and the power of speaking your truth?even when the world isn?t ready to hear it.More than just a chronicle of an artist?s path to success, SPIT is a groundbreaking story of identity, resilience, and reinvention. It is also the story of an American outsider who turned life?s challenges into his stage and battled his way to triumph.…
