Beschreibung
February 24, 2020, started out like any other dayfor journalist and television anchor Dion Lim of San Francisco’s ABC7 News. Planning her pitches for the morning’s editorial meeting, she checked her Instagram account and saw a message from someone she didn’t recognize. Attached was a horrifying video in which men were beating and yelling racist slurs at an elderly Asian man who had been collecting cans in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. Lim felt compelled to inves-tigate the story, help the man who “looked freakishly like my dad,” and bring the perpetrators to justice.Thus began Lim’s three-years-and-counting quest to bring at-tention to the appalling rise of anti-Asian hate and violence in America. Amplify! My Fight for Asian America brings readers on an eye-opening journey alongside Lim, who has unwittingly be-come a national hero for her relentless fight for Asian American visibility. Through deeply personal anecdotes about her own life as a Chinese American, exclusive interviews with survivors, ac-tivists, and historians, and incisive historical context, she pro-vides the very first book to tackle one of the biggest political and social controversies of this century from the perspective of the AAPI community. Amplify! offers a meaningful look at the real stories behind the headlines, providing Asian Americans and al-lies of all backgrounds a vital resource to broaden their perspec-tive and contribute to positive social transformation.
