De bananengeneratie: over het dubbelleven van Chinese Nederlanders van nu

Pete Wu is een banaan. Althans, zo noemt zijn moeder hem liefkozend: ‘geel van buiten en wit vanbinnen’. Hij is een tweede generatie Chinese Nederlander, die midden in de Nederlandse samenleving staat. Toch wordt Pete ongewild herinnerd aan zijn anders-zijn. Door mensen die hem vragen waar hij nou écht vandaan komt. Of anders wel door de gemiddelde carnavalshit, Meneer Cheung uit Ik hou van Holland, of Gordon: ‘Wat ga je zingen? Nummer 39 met rijst?’ In De bananengeneratie gaat Pete in gesprek met ‘mede bananen’ die net als hij worstelen met hun Chinese Nederlanderschap. Hij praat met hen over generatieclashes, daten, discriminatie en eenzaamheid. En over het gevecht om jezelf te mogen zijn – bevrijd van clichés.
