Travel is a fundamental part of the Asian American and Pacific Islander experience. That's due in large part to the fact that so much of the community arrived in the U.S. after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which did away with prior quotas based on national origin that severely restricted immigrants from Asia for decades. Approximately 57% of Asian Americans were born outside the U.S., meaning the majority traveled here from somewhere else, or their parents or grandparents did. We're used to looking at our surroundings from a different perspective, and that makes for compelling storytelling. Here are 20 books by Asian and Pacific Islander authors that center on travel or evoke a strong sense of place.
