“… My book on hate crimes is called Anti-Asian Violence in North America: Asian American and Asian Canadian Reflections on Hate, Healing and Resistance, published in 2001. My book introduction and the book reviews are available online at: www.rowmanlittlefield.com or www.altamirapress.com.
Prof. Howard Zinn (Boston University) is one of the book reviewers.
Thanks to Amazon.com, this volume is now being marketed in six countries. The book is now priced at about $37 for paperback and $87 for hardback.
My co-author is Mr. Victor Hwang, a civil rights lawyer. Several of the articles in this anthology are written by civil rights lawyers. The Afterword is by Mary-Woo Sims (formerly the chief commissioner with the British Columbia Human Rights Commission).
In the epilogue of my book, I discuss the relationship between the Jewish Holocaust / neo-Nazism and anti-Asian violence, with quotes from Simon Wiesenthal’s book, ‘Sunflower.’ I saw some connections there, since white supremacists continue to target Jews, people of color, gays and others who are marginalized in the U.S.

Peace to you,
Risha
