In 2018, Michael Ting shocked the slam poetry community when he became the first Chinese-American to win the Individual World Poetry Slam in San Diego, CA, and hold the title of Individual World Champion. Past winners such as Rudy Francisco, Ed Mabrey, and Buddy Wakefield have become household names for poetry lovers around the world, while former competitors like Brandon Leake, Elizabeth Acevedo, Michael Harriot, and Hanif Abdurraqib have gone on to become international celebrities for their captivating performance, spellbinding writing, and generation-defining prose. In this timely, debut collection, Michael Ting challenges the notion that the Asian-American identity is a cheap copy - a novelty - of someone else’s American Dream, insisting that the reader take a deeper look at the stories, viewpoints, and challenges that define him and a generation of Asian Americans looking to find their voice. After a year marked by both heartbreaking violence against Asian diasporic communities and breakthrough moments of representation in popular culture, this debut collection adds a critical piece of commentary that will leave the reader with a more complicated, expansive, and layered perspective. From playground assimilations to flipped microaggressions, misplaced masculinity to culinary confessionals, Ting takes the reader on a journey through some of his most hard-earned lessons in a way that only a world class slam poet can. Balancing his trademark wit and humor with gut-punching truths, these poems may just transform your understanding of Asian-Americans, but perhaps more importantly in this moment, yourself.

It Did Happen Here

An Antifascist People’s History

By: Moe Bowstern,Mic Crenshaw,Alec Dunn,Celina Flores,Julie Perini,Erin Yanke

Portland, Oregon, 1988. The brutal murder of Ethiopian immigrant Mulugeta Seraw by racist skinheads shocked the city. In response disparate groups quickly came together to organize against white nationalist violence and right wing organizing throughout the Rose City and the Pacific Northwest. It Did Happen Here compiles interviews with dozens of people who worked together during the waning decades of the 20th century to reveal an inspiring collaboration between groups of immigrants, civil rights activists, militant youth, and queer organizers. This oral history focuses on participants in three core groups: the Portland chapters of Anti Racist Action and Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice, and the Coalition for Human Dignity. Using a diversity of tactics—from out-and-out brawls on the streets and at punk shows, to behind-the-scenes intelligence gathering—brave antiracists unified on their home ground over and over, directly attacking right wing fascists and exposing white nationalist organizations and neo-Nazi skinheads. Embattled by police and unsupported by the city, these citizen activists eventually drove the boneheads out of the music scene and off the streets of Portland. This book shares their stories about what worked, what didn’t, and ideas on how to continue the fight.
