AAPIReadinglist.com is an interactive net collection curated as an affective response to the anti-asian hate crime in the U.S. The list includes fiction, poetry, memoirs and some non-fictions works by asian americans from 1999-2020 in a chronological order, juxtaposition to the visualization of the anti-asian hate crime data* shown in the background.
By gathering and building a reading list of Asian American literature shared on the internet, I hope to carve out a corner on cyberspace for the marginalized voices. It will serve as an introduction to the writings by Asian American authors throughout the past 20 years. Especially with fictional writings and poetry, it will be a glance and resource into the world of emotions, imaginations and the inner worlds of being Asian American.
