SUMMARY:Ordinary Disasters: How I Stopped Being a Model Minority
DESCRIPTION:The most personal writing yet to come from a noted scholar of race: a bold and moving look at race\, gender\, aging\, and immigration that examines\, through lenses both intimate and political\, what it means to be an Asian American woman living in America today. \nPart memoir\, part cultural criticism\, part history\, Anne Anlin Cheng’s original essays focus on art\, politics\, and popular culture. Through personal stories woven with a keen eye and an open heart\, Cheng summons up the grief\, love\, anger\, and humor in negotiating the realities of being a scholar\, an immigrant Asian American woman\, a cancer patient\, a wife of a white man\, and a mother of biracial children . . . all in the midst of the (extra)ordinary stresses of recent years. \nOrdinary Disasters explores with lyricism and surgical precision the often difficult-to-articulate consequences of race\, gender\, migration\, and empire. It is the story of Chinese mothers and daughters\, of race and nationality\, of ambition and gender\, of memory and forgetting\, and the intricate ways in which we struggle for interracial and intergenerational intimacies in a world where there can be no seamless identity. \nAnne Anlin Cheng was born in Taiwan\, grew up in the American South\, and is the author of three books on American racial politics and aesthetics. Her writing has appeared in The Atlantic\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, The New York Times\, and The Washington Post. Cheng is the 2023–2024 Ford Scholar in Residence at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She is a professor of English and a former director of American Studies at Princeton University. Richard Preston is a bestselling author of 10 books including The Hot Zone and Crisis in the Red Zone. His books have been published in more than 35 languages. Preston is a contributor to the The New Yorker\, and all of his nonfiction books have first appeared as articles there. His awards include the American Institute of Physics science-writing award and the National Magazine Award\, and he’s the only non-physician ever to receive the Centers for Disease Control’s Champion of Prevention Award. \nThis event is cosponsored by Labyrinth Books\, Princeton University’s Department of English\, and Princeton’s Humanities Council.
