Re: A Korean-American Journey (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.asiavists.org | The book is encouraging a narrative primarily between two Asian people, and more rarely, -primarily- between a Korean adoptee and her biological mother. There is a lot of credit to be given for that.
In terms of the "theme of reflections that Amy Tan uses," if you mean a mother-daughter transnationa; narrative, there is tons of literature that has done the same.
Here's a listen of Asian American women writers, some presumingly married to white men, who have written specifically about the plight, struggle, and strength of Asians and Asian Americans: http://www.imdiversity.com/villages/asian/history_heritage/ikeda_whm2005intro_newbooks.asp
I haven't read most of them, but maybe you could start a book club to survey whether or not self-hate is prevelant is in the literature. |
