Beyond black and white, native and alien, lies a vast and fertile field of human experience. It is here that Eric Liu, former speechwriter for President Clinton and noted political commentator, invites us to explore.
In these compellingly candid essays, Liu reflects on his life as a second-generation Chinese American and reveals the shifting frames of ethnic identity. Finding himself unable to read a Chinese memorial book about his father's life, he looks critically at the cost of his own assimilation. But he casts an equally questioning eye on the effort to sustain vast racial categories like “Asian American.” And as he surveys the rising anxiety about China's influence, Liu illuminates the space that Asians have always occupied in the American imagination. Reminiscent of the work of James Baldwin and its unwavering honesty, The Accidental Asian introduces a powerful and elegant voice into the discussion of what it means to be an American.
想給三星,但因為是我讀的第一個male Asian American writer所以再加一星吧

評分這一本書以第一人稱的方式敘述作者作為美籍華裔二代對自己的身份(identity)的探討. 首先他並不把自己稱為華裔而是亞裔,他對自己在美國齣生,長大,接受教育,但卻擁有亞裔的血統而對自己的身份感到睏惑和迷惘. 他覺得自己是一個"美國人", 但父母以及周遭的人都告訴他,他首先是一個中國人再是一個美國人. 在他一係列的生活經歷裏, 他覺得Asian American (美籍亞裔)是一個獨特的存在,就好像海外的中國城一樣---既是齣現於美國,也獨立於美國文化之外, 同時卻不屬於任何的亞洲國傢. 這本書是一個移民二代對自己的探討,也是對海外亞裔生存生活環境的描述, 對人文思想研究非常有學術價值.
