Professor wants libraries to reflect cultural diversity
Here’s an interesting take on the way media representations affect Asian Americans’ daily lives. Basically, Dr. Chu views libraries as an extension of mainstream media, and by turning them around and allowing kids to see themselves (and people who look like them) in library materials, that they would feel less alienated.
- I want to make sure that the voices and the history of all those that contributed are actually being told. Libraries can help to make sure that those materials are out there.
