520 1 $a"In search of contemporary Asian America, celebrated photographer Wing Young Huie - the only member of his family not born in China - traveled with his wife, Tara, through nearly forty states and Canada to explore and document the funny, touching, and sometimes strange intersection of Asian American and American cultures. Looking for Asian America illustrates their rich and surprising journey across the United States." "Huie is keenly aware of his own Midwestern roots and perspective, and through his eyes we witness such images as a Vietnamese Elvis, Miss Congeniality on her cell phone in San Francisco's Chinatown, a Hmong street sign in rural North Carolina, a meditating Falun Gong protestor in Washington, D.C., a bubble tea Valley Girl, and a Chinese theme park in Orlando. Huie's camera captures ABCs (American-born Chinese), FOBs (fresh off the boat), and a self-described "redneck Chinese restaurant owner" near the Okefenokee Swamp. Taken together, the photographs reveal a complex portrait of the U.S. cultural landscape, and their dignified elegance invites a closer, deeper look." "Accompanied by the personal reflections of both Wing and Tara Huie, the nearly one hundred spectacular photographs tell a story that both mirrors and contradicts stereotypes of Asian Americans, ultimately questioning what it means to be ethnic and American in the twenty-first century."--Jacket.
