In honor of Asian-American Pacific Islander (AA/PI) Heritage Month, Chinquapin invites you to read a passage from the notable novel, “The Gangster We Are All Looking For” by the beloved Asian-American author, Lê Thi Diem Thúy.

By sharing this part of Thúy’s novel, we encourage the Chinquapin community, larger UCSC community and beyond to read, learn, and feel inspired by the stories and experiences so many Asian-American writers like Thúy write and share with the world.

Thank you for reading, and Happy AA/PI Heritage Month!

Happy Asian-American Pacific Islander Month, everyone!

As a student media organization at UC Santa Cruz, we at Chinquapin Literary Magazine would like to take a moment and show our solidarity towards the AA/PI community. We hope that even in spite of the injustices this community and other POC communities continue to face everyday, this post inspires you to create change in your own communities whether it be in personal, professional, or academic spaces.

With that said, let us move forward this month, and in every month throughout the year, to support one another and lift each other up. Thank you for reading.

Sincerely,
Chinquapin Literary Magazine
