Books Bananas Need to Read (8 books)

Not a joke title! This is for people who are (East) Asian-American (yellow on the outside, white on the inside).

Inspired by Books White People Need to Read: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... when I saw that and thought of how complicit myself and my family are in the neoliberalisation and gentrification of places on Turtle Island, I thought this would be a good place to start.
