Kompletní popis

In her engaging study, Passing for Perfect,erin KhuÊ Ninh considers the factors that drove college imposters such as Azia Kim-who pretended to be a Stanford freshman-and Jennifer Pan-who hired a hitman to kill her parents before they found out she had never received her high school diploma-to extreme lengths to appear successful. Why would someone make such an illogical choice? And how do they stage these lies so convincingly, and for so long?

These outlier examples prompt Ninh to address the larger issue of the pressures and difficulties of striving to be model minority, where failure is too ruinous to admit. Passing for Perfect insists that being a "model minority" is not a "myth," but coded into one's programming as an identity-a set of convictions and aspirations, regardless of present socioeconomic status or future attainability-and that the true cost of turning children into high-achieving professionals may be higher than anyone can bear.

Ninh's book codifies for readers the difference between imposters who are con artists or shysters and those who don't know how to stop passing for perfect.
