Celebrating AAPI Month – Great reads by Asian & Pacific Islander authors
Back in February, we celebrated Black History Month by sharing recent DIKs from Black authors. May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the United States, so it’s time to celebrate AAPI Heritage with a new list!
As with Black authors, despite the fact that this month is observed in the US, we didn’t limit ourselves to American authors here. Also, these are just the DIKs of approximately the past year. There are more great finds in our database!
Please join us in celebrating great writing by members of the Asian and Pacific Islander diaspora, wherever they live!
