The Souls of Yellow Folk

"The Souls of Yellow Folk" is a thought-provoking collection of essays that explores race and identity in America today. Inspired by W.E.B. DuBois's "The Souls of Black Folk," author Wesley Yang offers a fresh perspective through a mix of personal history, sociology, and reporting. This debut book contains 13 of Yang's best essays, including stories on Asian values and the American Dream, a portrait of chef Eddie Huang, and a deep dive into the psyche of the largest mass murderer in US history. With candor and insight, Yang examines a new generation of embattled and haunted men out on a limb.
