The souls of yellow folk

Book • 2018
The Souls of Yellow Folk is a collection of essays by Wesley Yang, published in 2018.

The book includes thirteen essays written between 2008 and 2017, which cover a range of topics including the experiences of Asian-Americans, the concept of recognition and dignity, and reflections on American pop culture and politics.

Yang delves into themes such as racial identity, sexual frustration, and the 'model minority' status of Asian Americans, drawing parallels with other thinkers like Francis Fukuyama and W.E.

B. Du Bois.

Despite its eclectic nature, the book provides insightful commentary on the complexities of being an Asian-American in contemporary America.
