I found this book so personally necessary and so comforting that I have no idea how useful this write up will be to anyone who's not me. Still, recommended!
Perhaps not an academic write up, but a great recommendation, mostly because I see my own reactions to these sorts of collections (I bought Growing Up Asian in Australia (http://www.penguin.com.au/lookinside/spotlight.cfm?SBN=9781863951913) recently, which is just at the right time, for me) in yours, and yeah, I save them up as well because they're so few and far between.
It's certainly added to my list of books to find. :)
