Celebrating AAPI Voices in Education

Essential Reading for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. Our reading list highlights books that help educators better understand the histories, identities, and educational experiences of Asian American and Pacific Islander youth. Each title is grounded in research and designed to support thoughtful practice in schools and classrooms, as well as just policy and educational research. Other works explore comparative education approaches from throughout Asia.
