Frank H. Wu is a law professor, author, and public intellectual. He was recently appointed as the new Chancellor & Dean of UC Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, California, a position he assumed in July 2010. He is the first Asian American professor to teach at Howard Law School, as well as the first Asian American to serve as dean of Wayne State University Law School in Detroit, Michigan. Wu is the author of Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White, which was immediately re-printed in hardcover. Arguing for a new paradigm of civil rights that goes beyond a black-white paradigm, while also addressing subtle forms of racial discrimination, the book has become canonical in Asian American Studies and is widely used in classes on the subject. Yellow appears in both the film, Americanese, an adaptation of American Knees by Shawn Wong, and the book, Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology. Wu himself has appeared as a character in Asian America: The Movement and the Moment.

In addition, Wu received the largest grant issued by the federal Civil Liberties and Public Education Fund, to co-author Race, Rights and Reparation: Law and the Japanese Internment, now the leading textbook on Asian Americans and the law. He also contributes to Fanfare Magazine, reviews for ATPM.com (About This Particular Macintosh), and regularly publishes in various other law reviews, newspapers, and online journals. Wu is represented by the American Programs Bureau and is currently writing a follow-up book to Yellow about the Vincent Chin case.
