We are a little behind on our news updates, but in case you have not already heard of this amazing project,\u00a0 here’s a little plug for “The 500 Project<\/a>,” which is being co-sponsored by Bryan Thao Worra and our friends at Kartika Review<\/em>.<\/p>\n

From their web page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Can’t we find, among all of those thousands, 10 individuals who are passionate about Asian American literature, writer activists who will express without equivocation that Asian American literature matters?<\/p>\n

For each of the 50 states, there must be at least 10 Asian \/ Pacific Islander Americans that answer yes. And thus Thao Worra, joined by Kartika Review seek out those 500. Why should it be so hard to identify them and build a vibrant, amazing network of readers and writers? How can a canon of contemporary Asian American literature be built if we cannot even find these 500?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 500 Project, accordingly, “seeks to profile 10 APIA individuals from each of the 50 States who answer YES.”<\/p>\n

To submit your profile, respond to the items in their short questionnaire<\/a>, and email your answers to 500project [at] kartikareview (dot) com.\u00a0 Include the name of your state, and your own name, in the subject line.<\/p>\n

We at LR<\/em>, of course, heartily encourage you to submit a profile.\u00a0 Take a stand for the importance of APIA lit, and represent your state!<\/p>\n

More on the\u00a0 history and inspiration behind The 500 Project can be found here<\/a>, at Kartika Review<\/em>‘s web site.<\/p>\n
