Stories in this section address questions of identity including the existence of "colorism" in the African-American community in Alexis De Veaux's "Dear Aunt Nanadine," the importance understanding one's heritage in R.A. Sasaki's "A Dictionary of Japanese-American Terms," and the biases one character faces in a predominately Chinese neighborhood regarding a physical handicap in Sucheng Chan's "You're Short, Besides." It could be a textbook in a myriad of multicultural courses on topics ranging from adult education, adult development and aging, or diversity, to women's studies, ethnic studies, social work, or literature.
