Chin, Frank; Jeffrey Paul Chan; Lawson Fusao Inada; Shawn Wong - The Big Aiiieeeee! an Anthology of Chinese American and Japanese American Literature

New York, Plume, 1991. Softcover. pp. xvi, 619. Small 8vo. Illustrated covers. Remainder mark to the bottom edges, else, bright, clean, and unmarked. Appears unread; as new. When the first volume of this collection of Asian American literature appeared in 1974, it showed readers the roots and the richness of Chinese American and Japanese American writing. The authors called their anthology Aiiieeeee! because that was the shout, the scream, often the only sound coming from the yellow man or woman in American movies, television, or comic books. But as that work demonstrated, the Asian American writer, long ignored and excluded from participating in American culture, has an articulate and creative voice. The Big Aiiieeeee!—an entirely new and truly comprehensive collection—brings together the earliest writings to appear in America, such as the revealing An English-Chinese Phrase Book used by the first generation of Chinese immigrants, and recent stories and essays, such as “Come All Ye Asian American Writers” by Frank Chin, about the importance of Chinese and Japanese heroic tradition. Here we all can now learn of the pain, the dreams, the betrayals, and the indelible sense of “otherness” of Americans of Chinese and Japanese descent, in a seminal collection of poetry, prose, and drama—writings filled with rage and beauty, memory and vision.
