Jeff Yang and Phil Yu, two of the authors of RISE: A Pop History of Asian America from the Nineties to Now live at SOPAC Loft on Sunday, May 22 at 4:30 pm.

RISE is a love letter to and for Asian Americans—a vivid scrapbook of voices, emotions, and memories from an era in which our culture was forged and transformed, and a way to preserve both the headlines and the intimate conversations that have shaped our community into who we are today.

Pre-order your books from Words Bookstore and add “AAPI 5/22 event” to the comments section to pick up your book at the event and get it signed by the authors.
