Aiiieeeee!
Frank Chin, Jeffery Paul Chan et al.EDITORBOOKAiiieeeee!2019
In the eyes of mid-twentieth-century white America, “Aiiieeeee!” was the one-dimensional cry from Asian Americans, their singular expression of all emotions—it signified and perpetuated the idea of Asian Americans as inscrutable, foreign, self-hating, undesirable, and obedient. In this anthology first published in 1974, Frank Chin, Jeffery Chan, Lawson Inada, and Shawn Wong reclaimed that shout, outlining the history of Asian American literature …
Happy Chinatown Tours
Frank ChinARTICLEAmerasia Journal2011
Number One Son approached his father with a question. Pop?Call me 'Dad,' son.Pop, I have a question for you. Where did the White myth that Chinese men hate Chinese women come from?We're Christians, son! The morning Chronicle crumpled in Dad's hands. It's no myth! Dad said heartily. He shook out the paper. Donaldina Cameron's publicity claims she was the first to reveal the Yellow man's pathological cruelty to Yellow women. That's good enough for …

Japanese America in Los Angeles seems to have snuck into town and set up shop behind my back. Bush One asserted Christian supremacy over oil with the Gulf War against Iraq. It was dead and draining after the Rodney King riots of 1992. What a terrible year that was. That was the day I tucked my five-year-old son Sam into the red Honda CVCC, rolled down to the road to hawk my novel Donald Duk, and showed my son some cities and friends along I-5 to …

Pearl Harbor Revisited
Frank ChinARTICLEAmerasia Journal2001
The laughter stopped on September 11, 2001. A day America likened to Pearl Harbor. Till that day we were still laughing at the foolishness of the Organization of Chinese Americans, a self styled rights and education organization, linking up with the Japanese American Citizen's League, the group known to have used and abandoned the title civil rights at their convenience. The OCA might not know what their rights organization is or does, in fact th…
The Most Popular Book in China
Frank ChinCHAPTERMaxine Hong Kingston's The woman…1999
A female and raised a French Catholic, she is, by the terms of her thousand-year-old religion, the meekest of the meek, the mildest of the mild, basking in the grace of God. She is forbidden by French culture to speak of herself except in the third person, and must limit her use of the first-person pronoun “I” to quoting the exact words spoken by card-carrying Judea-Christian white men.

His hometown, Chinatown San Francisco has forgotten the name of Ben Fee and the man he was, for its own good. In New York he's what he was in Frisco, but more so, a word of mouth legend, a bare knuckled unmasked man, a Chinaman loner out of the old West, a character out of Chinese sword-slingers, a fighter. The kind of Chinaman we've been taught to ignore, and forget if we didn't want America to drive Chinatown out of town

Asian-Americans are not one people but several, Chinese-Americans, Japanese-Americans, and Filipino-Americans. Chinese and Japanese Americans have been separated by geography, culture, and history from China and Japan for seven and four generations respectively. They have evolved cultures and sensibilities distinctly not Chinese or Japanese and distinctly not white American. Even the Asian languages as they exist today in America have been adjust…
