"A ruthlessly honest personal story and a devastating critique of
contemporary American culture." -- Seattle Times A "searingly
honest self-exploration"* of the experience and psyche of the Asian
American male, including Tizon's stunning final article, "My
Family's Slave" Shame, Alex Tizon tells us, is universal--his own
happened to be about race. To counteract the steady diet of
American television and movies that taught Tizon to be ashamed of
his face, his skin color, his height, he turned outward. ("I had to
educate myself on my own worth. It was a sloppy, piecemeal
education, but I had to do it because no one else was going to do
it for me.") Tizon illuminates his youthful search for Asian men
who had no place in his American history books or classrooms. And
he tracks what he experienced as seismic change: the rise of
powerful, dynamic Asian men like Yahoo! cofounder Jerry Yang, actor
Ken Watanabe, and NBA starter Jeremy Lin. Included in this new
edition of Big Little Man is Alex Tizon's "My Family's
Slave"--2017's best-read digital article. Published only weeks
after Tizon's death in 2017, it delivers a provocative, haunting,
and ultimately redemptive coda. * New York Times "Alex Tizon writes
with acumen and courage, and the result is a book at once
illuminating and, yes, liberating." -- Peter Ho Davies, author of
The Fortunes
