Paper 1: Book Review (2-3 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font)
Student will select one book from a curated list of academic books (see List of Books for Review Essay below) related to topics in Asian American studies. The student is to read through the book and write a review of the chosen book. In the form of an essay, the book review should critically assess the argument made by the book’s author, describe how the author made their argument, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the work. Students are encouraged to conduct library searches and draw on external sources (related works or other reviews of the same book) to frame their critical essay. Consider what you might want to research for your final paper when selecting a book.
