The four books being published are:
The Hanging on Union Square by H. T. Tsiang East Goes West by Younghill Kang No-No Boy by John Okada America Is in the Heart by Carlos Bulosan
Each new book will feature introductions from contemporary Asian American authors like Alexander Chee and Elaine Castillo. Okada (No-No Boy), born in Seattle and sent to an internment camp during World War II while he was a college student, is often considered the first Japanese American novelist. No-No Boy was the first novel published by a U.S.-born Japanese American writer. Tsiang immigrated to the United States from China, Kang from Korea (now a part of North Korea), and Bulosan from the Pangasinan province of the Philippines. The new editions of these classic works of literature are much-needed refreshes to shed new light on overlooked authors of color.
