Read Think Act: Hongwei Bao on Queering the Asian Diaspora
Guest
Read Think Act is an original Lighthouse video series where writing and activism go hand in hand (or head to head) and we explore the space where they intersect, taking ideas from the page and into our communities.
For this latest episode we spoke to writer, poet and academic Hongwei Bao about his book Queering the Asian Diaspora, and collected a gorgeous list of recommendations!
Below you'll find links to books by other authors mentioned by Hongwei in the episode! For those interested in intersectional writing on the Asian diaspora, look out for our event with Candice Chung launching her memoir Chinese Parents Don't Say I Love You on April 16th, and on May 29th Curtis Chin is also coming to Edinburgh, details here!
Catch up on all previous episodes of our Read Think Act video series either here on the website or on our YouYube channel!
