Yellow and Confused ~ Ming-Cheau Lin
Born in Taiwan, raised in South Africa and making sense of it all
Large soft cover
Condition AS NEW
Ming-Cheau Lins family emigrated to South Africa from Tainan, Taiwan when she was just three years old and stayed in Bloemfontein with a small East Asian community. Seen as an outsider, she struggled to understand her identity as a minority and immigrant and faced harsh realities of being yellow in the western world in addition to the legacy of South Africas history.
After assimilating to the surrounding society, she is deemed not Asian enough when she is unable to conform to the rules of first-generation Asian elders, yet too Asian for everyone else. Taiwanese or South African, teenager or rebel, creative or disappointment. She shares her story and journeys to uncover the reasons why yellow people are treated the way they are in a space that doesnt recognise them as part of the population.
