Chinese and Any Other Asian

Vital reading, but also vital in the truest sense - real, alive, full of humanity, interrogatory, empathetic, energising * Claire Kohda, author of WOMAN, EATING *
An important, vital, and illuminating read … An incredibly well-researched, personal, and direct exploration of society, racism, culture, food, the hypersexualisation of ESEA women, and gendered violence * Angela Hui, author of Takeaway: Stories from a Childhood Behind the Counter *
Rigorous, revelatory and radical, Chinese and Any Other Asian is both a fascinating social history and a timely invitation to have better conversations about culture and ethnicity. Bold and necessary * Jimi Famurewa, author of SETTLERS: Journeys Through the Food, Faith and Culture of Black African London *
A complex, nuanced, and absorbing portrait of what it means to be mixed - with food, gender, and labor concerns as throughlines - whose ideas and critiques can be applied well beyond the shores of Britain * Alicia Kennedy, author of No Meat Required *
A resonant and enjoyable read for all of us, no matter our cultural identity … elucidating, entertaining and approachable * Charlotte Druckman, author of SKIRT STEAK and WOMEN ON FOOD *
An essential look at ESEA identity through the lens of resisting British colonialism… skillfully interrogates the concepts of race, class, gender and language within pop culture with refreshing aplomb. A crucial volume in the Asian diasporic repertoire * Esther Tseng *
Writing with both sincerity and scepticism, Masing offers an essential deconstruction of East and Southeast Asian identity in a society that so easily collapses all nuance. As a person of Southeast Asian heritage, I’ve always wanted to read a book like this - simultaneously illuminating and affirming. * Bettina Makalintal, senior reporter at Eater *
