Asian \u0026amp; Asian American Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Women's Studies. Angie Chuang takes on an assignment to find the human face of the country we're about to bomb weeks after the 2001 terrorist attacks. Her five-year journey into the lives of the Shirzai family transports her far beyond journalism. She travels to their homeland Afghanistan, and becomes intimately involved with the family's story of loss and triumph over war. As she is drawn ever deeper into the Shirzais's lives, Chuang confronts unknown territory closer to her own home. Her own immigrant family from Taiwan is falling apart. Mental illness, divorce, and deeply rooted cultural taboos have shattered her own family's American Dream. Ultimately, she finds the two families are more similar than she had imagined. It is in journeying far away from her own home and family that she is drawn back to discover her own roots--and to confront the hard truths and broken places that lie at the heart of so many stories of migration and intergenerational struggle.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50312390672657,"sku":"CIN0989735745VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50370767978769,"sku":"CIN0989735745G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51010978119953,"sku":"NIN9780989735742","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52510999478545,"sku":"NLS9780989735742","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0989735745.jpg?v=1750851871"},{"product_id":"american-otherness-in-journalism-book-angie-chuang-9781032766942","title":"American Otherness in Journalism","description":"Winner of the 2026 Frank Luther Mott\/Kappa Tau Alpha Research Award  Offering a critical insight into the production, gatekeeping, and consumption of news in contemporary American society, American Otherness in Journalism lays bare embedded cultural beliefs, via mainstream news media, to ask: who gets to be represented as American, and why?  In this book Angie Chuang argues that, ever since the early 20th century, when the idea of “The (Racial) Melting Pot” became popularized, the dominant-culture conceptualization of American identity is such that some residents have always been perceived as more American than others. Combining close textual analysis of high-profile case studies with media theories of false balance, stereotypical selection, default Whiteness, and the protest paradigm, Chuang demonstrates how news media practices have created a cultural context that excludes some Americans from fully belonging to American identity. The nine news media case studies in American Otherness in Journalism span the first two decades of this century, bracketed by the 9\/11 terrorist attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic. These narratives include news coverage of the undocumented, mostly-Latine, youth pursuing residency through the DREAM Act\/DACA, the Barack Obama “birther” debate, the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally, the Atlanta spa shootings, and Breonna Taylor’s killing prior to the 2020 summer of protest. Showing how longstanding multicultural ideals about Americanness and racial equity were exposed, dismantled, and re-examined in the news during this period, this critical study provides a new analytical vocabulary with which to understand vital and difficult issues of Self and Other in our time.  An essential read for students, practitioners, and scholars of race reporting in the U.S. context, this book will be of interest to anyone studying or researching issues of diversity in the media.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51629760086289,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51629760282897,"sku":"NGR9781032766942","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52617383903505,"sku":"NLS9781032766942","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032766948.jpg?v=1759833382"},{"product_id":"american-otherness-in-journalism-book-angie-chuang-9781032766973","title":"American Otherness in Journalism","description":"Offering a critical insight into the production, gatekeeping, and consumption of news in contemporary American society, American Otherness in Journalism lays bare embedded cultural beliefs, via mainstream news media, to ask: who gets to be represented as American, and why?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51629950664977,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51629950828817,"sku":"NGR9781032766973","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52619161960721,"sku":"NLS9781032766973","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52745771286801,"sku":"NIN9781032766973","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032766972.jpg?v=1759510210"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-angie-chuang.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
