Khúc, M. (2024). Dear Elia: Letters from the Asian American Abyss. London: Duke University Press. Review by Caro Suringar
Abstract
Mimi Khúc’s Dear Elia: Letters from the Asian American Abyss is a book that is anything but a conventional academic book on mental health in higher education. To me, Khúc powerfully acknowledges the pain experienced by students and university staff who exist outside of the norms. Yet, in doing so, she also offers a sense of hope, a vision of survival and resistance. In this review, I will explore how the book resonates with my research on burnout amongst first generation students.
