 YELL-Oh Girls! Emerging Voices Explore Culture, Identity, and Growing Up Asian American $13.99 Well, I have read this book twice (the second time, I found it in a high school library and finished it all in one day). I do applaud Nam for having the courage and patience to put out a book like this, but every single one of the stories is from a young Asian female in high school or college. Also, despite the obvious differences in surroundings, characters, and plots, they all seem to be so staged as the stories always come up to the same conclusion: I did terrible, or Mom/Dad did me wrong, but I can always keep trying. It's a good message, but when you hear it in about three or four dozen stories over a course of a book literally as thick as your thumb, it does get pretty redundant. Like the other reviewers pointed out, I'm wondering what happened to these writers. I'm sure they'd all be in their thirties or at least twenties now; this was all written and published in 2000 and 2001. Good for the high school and college Asian American girls; may be a bit boring and repetitive for the rest.
