Imposter Syndrome and Other Confessions of Alejandra Kim follows a Korean-Argentinian teen's journey to understanding who she is. Through the comfort of her multicultural home in Queens to the hallways of her ultra-woke, elite prep school in Manhattan, Alejandra grapples with academics, the politics of school lunch, and even a microaggression from her own teacher. As author Patricia Park tells Here & Now's Robin Young, it's a story about how quickly the world is changing – and how conversations about race are or aren't keeping up.

Once a month, every year, Muslims around the world celebrate Ramadan.

Canada has a reputation for being a rather low-key, friendly place. 

For the most part, this is true. It is a nice place to visit and is never usually that controversial. 

However, that hasn’t always been the case. Fifty years ago, Canadians faced the threat of extremism and terrorism, and it almost broke the country apart.

The title of Esther Yi's novel Y/N refers to an abbreviation for "your name" as it appears in a type of fan fiction where readers put themselves into a story. It's a way to inhabit another life, which is exactly what Yi's central character wants — but can never have. That tension drives the novel, as it explores loneliness, fandom, and K-Pop. Yi tells NPR's Ailsa Chang how it all fits together.

Why does poverty persist in one of the world's wealthiest countries? Because it's profitable, argues sociologist Matthew Desmond, in Poverty, By America. He tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe why wealthier Americans benefit from forces that keep their fellow citizens from growing richer — forces like predatory financial services, stagnant wages, and rising housing costs.

As soon as humans developed systems of writing, they faced a problem. What to do with all of the things that were written down? 

If you were going to document the lives of kings or tax records, then you need to be able to reference these details at some later date. 

The solution to the problem was the creation of repositories for documents. While they have changed dramatically over time, the same basic institutions are still with us today. 

Learn more about libraries and how they changed over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
