Bianca Mabute-Louie, "Unassimilable: An Asian Diasporic Manifesto for the Twenty-First Century"
English | ISBN: 006327762X | 2025 | 256 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
A scholar and activist's brilliant socio-political examination of Asian Americans who refuse to assimilate and instead build their own belonging on their own terms outside of mainstream American institutions.

UNASSIMILABLE opens with a focus on the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), the first Asian ethnoburb in Los Angeles County and in the nation, where she grew up.
