À propos de cet audio
In this live episode recorded at the Asian Art Museum on Bruce Lee Day, we talk with author Jeff Chang about his tremendous new book Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America.
Just ahead of what would’ve been Bruce’s 85th birthday (which is today!), we talk about his impact on Asian American representation in media, what he meant to generations of fans, and the intertwined rise of the AAPI identity that Jeff so beautifully weaves throughout the book. True to form, Freesia gushes, but this really is one of the best books she’s read in a very, very long time. We really cannot say enough good things about it.
Plus, we talk about one of Jeff’s childhood comfort dishes, which just so happens to be a Hawaiian version of our childhood comfort dish, his experience growing up in Hawaii, and the culture shock of leaving the island for California.
Big thanks to the Asian Art Museum for helping to make this happen and for a great book talk earlier in the day.
Whether you’re interested in Bruce Lee or the Asian American movement and identity, we can’t recommend this book enough.
