Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, May 2023
This month we honor Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants and communities in Latin America and the Caribbean with a book display and recommended readings drawn from our collection. Our books and periodicals reflect the varied experiences and origins of these communities, through history, archaeology, and literature. Research sources in our collection also reflect the linguistic diversity of these communities, many of which publications are bilingual if not multilingual. We hope you find something that interests you! All books on display are available for checkout to UF patrons (and available by interlibrary loan).
