Screaming Monkeys: Critiques of Asian American Images
Edited by M. Evelina Galang

When a 1998 Milwaukee Magazine restaurant review of a Filipino establishment referred to the owner's child as a "rambunctious little monkey," Filipino Americans were outraged. Sparked by this incident, Screaming Monkeys sets fire to Asian American stereotypes as it illuminates the diverse and often neglected history and culture within the Asian American diaspora.

Screaming Monkeys is a collaborative work designed by fiction writer M. Evelina Galang, poet Eileen Tabios, scholar Sunaina Maira, artist Jordin Isip, and spokenword activist and graphic artist Anida Yoeu Esguerra. Like the editors of this anthology, the contributors of Screaming Monkeys speak from various communities of writers, artists, scholars and activists as well as from different ethnic communities in an effort to illustrate the diverse and often disparate perspectives of and within Asian America as well as the multiple histories integral to understanding America. In an effort to make sense of all the screaming, scholar Leslie Bow offers readers "A Monkey's Companion" to walk through the pages of Screaming Monkeys.
