Khúc, M. (2024). Dear Elia: Letters from the Asian American Abyss. London: Duke University Press. Review by Caro Suringar
Abstract
This striking opening line sets the tone for Mimi Khúc’s Dear Elia: Letters from the Asian American Abyss, a book that is anything but a conventional academic book on mental health in higher education. This sentence stirred a complex mix of emotions in me: sadness, anger, and, most of all, defiance. 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.
