'Gave me company in some of my feelings that I've felt alone with for years, if not my whole life...vital reading, but also vital in the truest sense - real, alive, full of humanity, interrogatory, empathetic, energising' * Claire Kohda, author of WOMAN, EATING * An important, vital, and illuminating read. It deserves to be widely shared and read for its incredibly well-researched, personal, and direct exploration of society, racism, culture, food, the hypersexualisation of ESEA women, and gendered violence... A true must-read. * Angela Hui, author of Takeaway: Stories from a Childhood Behind the Counter * Rigorous, revelatory and radical, Chinese and Any Other Asian is both a fascinating social history and a timely invitation to have better conversations about culture and ethnicity. Bold and necessary. * Jimi Famurewa, author of SETTLERS: Journeys Through the Food, Faith and Culture of Black African London * Chinese and Any Other Asian is a revelatory look at the complexity of identity: rarely, if ever, can it be contained to a box ticked on an official form. Through interviews, research, and personal narrative, Anna Sulan Masing paints a complex, nuanced, and absorbing portrait of what it means to be mixed-with food, gender, and labor concerns as throughlines-whose ideas and critiques can be applied well beyond the shores of Britain. * Alicia Kennedy, author of No Meat Required *
