Free Bruce Lee Book Talk w/ Jeff Chang (Oakland)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join us for a conversation and book signing with award-winning writer, critic, and cultural observer Jeff Chang as he brings fresh insight and humanity to the legendary Bruce Lee in Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America.

His new book is not only a sweeping, intimate biography of a global martial arts icon, but is also the untold story of the rise of Asian America.

Water Mirror Echo—a title inspired by Bruce Lee’s own way of moving, being and responding to the world—reminds us of his core essence. In the hands of author Jeff Chang, Bruce Lee’s story brims with the personal. Based on in-depth interviews with Lee’s closest intimates, newly available personal documents, and featuring dozens of photographs from Lee’s family archive, Chang reveals the man behind the iconography. Stirringly, he shows how Lee’s growing fame ushered in something even more enduring—the creation of Asian America.

This event will be moderated by filmmaker Ursula Liang, and is presented by Oakland Asian Cultural Center in partnership with Eastwind Books. Eastwind will be selling copies of Water Mirror Echo at the event.
