While the May pick of our Taiwanese American Memoir Book Club is not exactlyyyy a memoir, Tiffany Yu’s "The Anti-Ableist Manifesto" is nonetheless a critical part of our community canon, and an important addition to our reading group series.⁠ Through this month’s selection, we hope to expand our understanding of what belongs within Taiwanese American storytelling and community memory; and to consider disability justice as essential to conversations about identity, belonging, access, and collective liberation. Join us THIS Sunday, with a special live Q&A with author @imtiffanyyu <3 ⁠ ⁠ 🖥️ Join us on Sunday, May 17 6PM PT for a guided discussion (Google Meets)! RSVP at the link in bio.⁠ 📚We're pleased to partner with AAPI-led, mission-driven @yellowperilbooks to offer 10% off our memoir selections with code TABOOKCLUB10 and 5% off books by Taiwanese Americans with code TWNAMERICANS. 5% of proceeds from these texts will be donated to @taiwaneseam_org .⁠ ⁠ Tag us on your reading journey at @taiwaneseam_org #TABookClub!⁠
