BOOK TALK DESCRIPTION
★ As the best-known martial artist and one of the most celebrated action stars ever, Bruce Lee is a global icon. He symbolizes swagger, strength, and the unbeatable spirit of the underdog. WATER MIRROR ECHO: BRUCE LEE AND THE MAKING OF ASIAN AMERICA draws from private letters, rare documents and photos, and interviews with his closest confidants to show how Bruce became a hero not just for Asian Americans, but also for anyone who has ever felt invisible.
★ Jeff Chang is an award-winning writer, cultural critic, and organizer whose work explores the intersections of culture, race, politics, and music. He is the author of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation, widely recognized as a defining work of American nonfiction, and Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America, named one of the best books of 2025 by Publishers Weekly, Vogue, NPR, and more. His work has earned numerous honors, including the American Book Award.
