Min Jin Lee, the celebrated author and National Book Award finalist, joined Preet in May for a conversation about Asian American identity and the immigrant experience. They spoke about the political value of “Asian American” as a category, the problem with the debate over affirmative action, and her famously rigorous research process.
The conversation resonated with many of our listeners, and with the holidays approaching, we're re-airing it in full. (The episode originally aired on May 26th.)
