Party
About this book
Explores modern Asian-America through the prism of New York's Asian party scene. What is the purpose of these parties? What does this scene say about Asian-American identity? Going beyond the "safe-space" exterior, the film reveals the lives and struggles of prominent promoters and partygoers. Features narration by Professor Gary Okihiro of Columbia University, who comments on the current state of Asian-America.
