Screaming Monkeys: Critiques of Asian American Images
Reviews

Asian American Book Review:
"The juxtaposition of creative modes-fiction, poetry, essay, art with advertisements and critical pieces-provides a nuanced perspective of the vexed position of Asian Americans in mainstream America, and obliges us to rethink our manner of cultural classifications. The range and quality of the contributions is to be applauded… it allows Asian Americans to speak for themselves, though an extraordinary assemblage of artistic modes."

Asian American Press:
"A comprehensive reflection on the Asian American experience that transcends reaction in addressing everything from blatant racism, commercial exploitation, to the claim of innocence in ignorance on the part of mainstream America."

Rocio G. Davis:
"Screaming Monkeys performs one of the most challenging, yet culturally rewarding subversions of prevailing stereotypes of Asian Americans in contemporary mass media. This outstandingly comprehensive document takes the pulse of a critical contradiction in American self-perception, and attempts to adjust an unfocused lens. The juxtaposition of creative modes˜fiction, poetry, essay, art with advertisements and critical pieces˜provides a nuanced perspective of the vexed position of Asian Americans in mainstream America, and obliges us to rethink our manner of cultural classifications. Galang's intelligent and thoughtful anthology is a vital contribution to the development of Asian American cultural studies.
