For Asian American mothers, these judgments have often been shaped by the enduring stereotype of the strict, academically driven \"tiger mother.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eNot Tiger Moms\u003c\/i\u003e, Miliann Kang explores the racist, xenophobic roots of this trope and how it undermines Asian American mothers, silencing their voices and inhibiting their connections to their children, to each other, and to other mothers, including their own. Through deeply personal and candid interviews, Asian American mothers who were born or grew up predominantly in the United States share stories that upend perceptions of them as both model minority reproducers and foreign threats. Instead, they chart new pathways to and through motherhood, imagining more expansive possibilities not only for Asian American mothers, but for all mothers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miliann Kang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520356290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiliann Kang \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Managed Hand: Race, Gender, and the Body in Beauty Service Work\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Miliann Kang \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48944102965405,"sku":"9780520356290","price":44.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_e299066c-6c77-4cb9-ae56-78b338c7154c.jpg?v=1790153955","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/not-tiger-moms-reimagining-asian-american-motherhood-9780520356290","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
