Velshi Banned Book Club: 'Dragonwings' by Laurence Yep

Laurence Yep’s acclaimed 1975 novel “Dragonwings” is a vivid coming-of-age story of Chinese immigrants in the US, blending history and fantasy as its protagonists struggle against racism and strive toward the American dream. Masterfully creating a world that is equal parts real and fantasy, American and Chinese, Yep gives us the world through the eyes of an immigrant child. As the family grapples with cruelty and kindness – finding community with all different kinds of people, and surviving a deadly earthquake that destroys much of the city that had slowly become their home. June 15, 2024
