Louder Than the Lies

di Ellie Yang Camp (Autore)

Heyday, 2024

Centers Asian American experience in learning about capitalism, white supremacy, and racial hierarchy in the U.S. Accessible, easy-to-comprehend primer celebrating this unique, dynamic, and growing community of Americans. Offers an intersectional, anti-racist, coalition-building lens on identity, which is of high interest among younger generations. Most conversations about race in America, and the corresponding books and resources available, have focused primarily on a Black-white binary, which often leaves out the experiences of Asian Americans and other non-Black people of color. The AAPI community is demanding more books that explain their long and complicated history and identity as Americans. Students want to learn, and teachers and parents want to know what to teach their kids. As calls have grown for ethnic studies programs in high schools and colleges, resources that speak specifically to the Asian American experience are still few and far between. Ellie Yang Camp is an experienced high school teacher solidly embedded in Asian American activist circles. Contains discussion questions for Asian Americans and non-Asian Americans for a classroom setting. Uses popular culture effectively such as Asian American representation in Hollywood includes modern examples like Mulan. A section about whitewashing and yellowface asks thought-provoking questions about casual racism in popular culture, with examples including Ashton Kutcher, Hank Azaria, Emma Stone, Tilda Swinton, and Scarlett Johansson. Conversations about cultural appropriation also include examples featuring celebrities such as Kim Kardashian. Asks difficult questions of both Asian Americans and non-Asian Americans, often using the authors own experiences as a jumping-off point for discussion. Contains several diagrams that clearly visualize the "big picture" of the systems of empire, capitalism, and white supremacy and locate the place Asian Americans have within these larger systems.
