What does it feel like to be visible and invisible, American and presumed foreigner, neither Black nor White? What does it feel like to be Asian in America? In Biting the Hand: Growing Up Asian in Black and White America, Julia Lee takes readers on a personal journey of finding her place in the U.S. It is a journey of rage, shame, and grace, a journey that will be familiar to many marginalized folks in the U.S. Julia Lee is a Korean American writer, scholar, and teacher. She holds a PhD in English and American Language and Literature and is currently an associate professor of English at Loyola Marymount University, where she teaches Black and Asian American literature.
