1 comments about Grandma Lai Goon Remembers: A Chinese-American Family Story.

1. "Grandma Lai Goon Remembers: A Chinese-American Family Story" combines text by Ann Morris with photographs and illustrations by Peter Linenthal. The book tells about the relationship between Lai Goon and her granchildren, Allyson and Daniel. An immigrant from China, Lai Goon speaks Chinese and tells the grandkids about her life in China. She teaches them traditional Chinese calligraphy and other parts of their shared cultural heritage.

   This is an interesting book that is full of many photos, many of them in full color. My favorite photo shows Grandma doing tai chi in a bright yellow sweatsuit. The photos of her with her grandhildren are warm and enjoyable to see. The book ends with a suggested exercise on doing research into one's own family history. Overall, a good book for young readers of any ethnic group.

2 comments about Ono Ono Girl'S Hula.

1. Ono Ono Girl's Hula ia a "loco moc" brew of mongrel identity politics, more or less, emanating as much from the grounds of cultural political struggle in contemporary Hawai'i as much as from the verbal flux of the diasporic Pacific Rim and the ethnic opportunism of California. I like it a lot, at times crazed and infuriated as I read the schizo-text of herstory; Carolyn Lau (who was a great Chinese poet in days past) is not Haunani Kay Trask and moments in the text when she aspires towards primordial ideological bullying are way off the mark. But when she lets the language flow and mix, she becomes one shameless hussy of mongrel postcolonialty, and it is worth it, dear reader, to go along for the poetic and sexual ride into the ono ono girl's blissy blessed hula.



2. I wanted to give this book 0 stars, you know? Anyway, what got me was the character of the Native Hawaiian policeman whose only human quality was his sexual availability, and whose only character trait was his bad temper...and this made-up character was said by the author to typify Native Hawaiians! They used to call that kind of generality Racism. This book by someone who is not Native Hawaiian but uses Hawaiian language like a tourist is not what I expected and I didn't appreciate it. Thank you. --Pele Ah Chu
