Growing Up Asian In Australia - 成长为亚洲的人在澳大利亚 (Chéngzhǎng wèi yàzhōu de rén zài àodàlìyǎ)

Plot

Asian-Australians are known to each other and the outside world by many labels: quiet achiever, FOB, gangster chigger, mainlander, banana. But are these labels based on some degree of truth or only fiction? What is it like to grow up Asian in Australia?

Asian-Australians have often been written about by outsiders as outsiders. In this collection they tell their own stories wth verve, courgage and a large dose of humour.

Here are well known authors and exciting new voices, spanning several generations and drawn from all over Australia. They tell us of leaving home, falling in love, and finding one's feet. In sharing their stories, they show us what it is really like to grown up Asian, and Australian.
