“Have you ever felt strangely<\/span> out of place? Have you ever thought you didn\u2019t truly<\/span> belong?<\/p>\n

Weird Culture Kids<\/span> is a memoir about growing up in and between different cultures and experiencing the world through international lenses. It goes deep into the author\u2019s journey from birth to adolescence, navigating the different cultures she lived in, encountered, and consciously chose as part of her identity. Sprinkled with conversations with other, culturally-speaking, Weirdos<\/span>, this book gives insights into coping mechanisms for relocation.<\/p>\n

Nguy\u1ec5n explores questions around cultures, identities and belonging, such as:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Can you be from<\/span> a place?<\/p>\n

\u2022 What happens when part of your identity disappears?<\/p>\n

\u2022 What\u2019s the relationship between language and identity?<\/p>\n

\u2022 What does the question \u201cWhere are you from\u201d actually mean?<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll discover you don\u2019t have to belong to a physical man-made piece of land or a nation-state. You can belong to people, cities and memories. You can belong to a shared habit, a song or a dance routine. Can \u201cHome\u201d ever be the feeling of acceptance?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
