2016 AWP Panel “Angry Asians,” moderated by contributor Ari Laurel

Mar 26, 2016

Air Laurel (recent contributor with “Ghosts“) will be reading at and moderating the 2016 AWP Conference panel “Angry Asians: A Hyphen Magazine Reading Dismantling the Model Minority Myth.” The other readers include include G Yamazawa, Celeste Chan, and Kristina Wong.

In 1966, the term “model minority” was coined in the New York Times. This year will be 50 years since Asian Americans were first characterized by the model minority myth, and they’re not going to take it anymore. Four APIA writers challenge the stereotype by being unapologetically themselves and reading work about anger, rebellion, and baddest behavior.

The reading/panel takes place on Friday, April 1st from 1:30pm to 2:45pm in Room 504 of the LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level.
