This book offers gendered, postcolonial insights into the poetic and artistic work of four generations of female Asian American artists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nancy Hom, Betty Kano, Flo Oy Wong, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Theresa H.K. Cha, and Hung Liu are discussed in relation to the cultural politics of their time, and their art is examined in light of the question of what it means to be an Asian American artist. Laura Fantone's exploration of this dynamic, understudied artistic community begets a sensitive and timely reflection on the state of Asian American women in the USA and in Californian cultural institutions.--

"This book is filled with superheroes! Daring people who refused to watch their neighborhoods be plagued by avoidable and unjust inequities. Their stories provide a powerful blueprint that should inspire all of us to fight for justice and inclusion."Bechara Choucair, former Commissioner, Chicago Department of Public Health, and Senior Vice President/Chief Community Health Officer, Kaiser Permanente "Must reading for anyone who cares about our nation's future. With thoughtful reporting and judicious use of data, Suzanne Bohan shows us where hope lies—with everyone committed to making change happen." Angela Glover Blackwell, Founder and CEO, PolicyLink "Bohan provides such great and humane insight into the many ways in which neighborhood environments can conspire against good health. Even more importantly, she shows how communities can come together to build a better life. I found these stories both angering and inspiring." Linda Rudolph, Director, Center for Climate Change and Health, Public Health Institute "In Twenty Years of Life, Suzanne Bohan shows how trauma, both structural and personal, works as a primary catalyst for the inequities experienced by poor people and people of color. Who among us will have the courage to respond with the urgency required? We are all on the clock..." Pastor Michael McBride, National Director, PICO's Urban Strategies and LIVE FREE Campaign "In this slim but powerful volume, Suzanne Bohan takes us on a remarkable journey of discovery. With the skill of a researcher and the flair of a journalist, she charts how the field of public health came to understand that where you live is critical to your health—and explains how a California foundation came to believe that the only way to really alter those social and environmental determinants of well-being is to support grassroots power-building. As with many such paths, there are delightful surprises along the way—as when young people convince the foundation's board to invest in campaigns to alter school discipline policies or when the city manager of a town with a troubled history of police-community relations embraces the need to address systemic racism. In a nation wracked by division, polarization, and often inaction, these stories of listening, healing, and transformation offer a glimmer of hope for change. This is a compelling, important, and timely read." Manuel Pastor, Professor of Sociology and American Studies and Ethnicity, University of Southern California "This is a remarkable book. It tackles, head on, one of the most perplexing problems of our time: why do Americans have poorer health than the residents of 40 other nations even though we spend much more money on healthcare? Could the reason involve more than medical care? Suzanne Bohan demonstrates how lack of access to good schools, housing, parks, food, and community support can influence our health. And she shows what can be done about it. This is a much-needed book that reveals our true health problem and offers real-life examples of how to solve it." S. Leonard Syme, Professor Emeritus, UC Berkeley.
