$12 at Amazon Buy $12 at Target Buy Indigenous Pacific Islander Eco-Literatures $29 $29 “Pacific Islander stories and histories continue being subsumed and erased under the broad categorization of ‘AAPI.’ However, in this forthcoming ecoliterature anthology, we see how Pacific Islander communities across Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and the global Pacific diaspora are leading a global climate-justice and artistic movement.
$13 at Amazon Buy $16 at Bookshop Buy Little Rabbit, by Alyssa Songsiridej $23 $26 now 12% off $23 “Songsiridej’s smart and soulful debut novel is the story of female desire that I’ve always wanted to read. Here, an Asian American woman is the one in pursuit. It’s her gaze driving the story, which is about ambition and art-making as much as it is about sex. I loved reading about the narrator’s complex yearnings and seeing her inner life treated with reverence.
