The Secret Battle of Evan Pao
Wendy Wan-Long Shang
Evan Pao moves with his mother and sister from California to Haddington, Virginia, while hoping to keep his father’s notoriety private. In the tradition-focused Southern town, Brady Griggs singles Evan out and makes him feel unwelcome because he is Chinese American. Evan’s research into Chinese American history leads to classroom discussions about systemic racism in a community preoccupied with the Civil War.
