“American born Chinese” by Gene Luen Yang

“American Born Chinese tells the story of Jin Wang, a son of Chinese immigrants, who struggles to assimilate at a predominantly white school after moving from San Francisco's Chinatown to the suburbs. Jin's story is interwoven with the legend of the Chinese folk hero Monkey King, and a sitcom starring buck-toothed Chinese stereotype Cousin Chin-Kee. This was the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award.”
