Open Mic: Riffs on Life Between Cultures in Ten Voices, edited by Mitali Perkins, includes
stories by Mitali Perkins, Gene Luen Yang, Francisco X. Stork and more. Each of the ten stories for teens explore race and culture–all with humour. Perkins’ introduction sets the tone, and offers important insights about humour, “especially in a tension-filled arena like race”.
This book is an important read, and a fun one.
