"Speak It Louder: Asian Americans Making Music" documents the
variety of musics-from traditional Asian through jazz, classical,
and pop-that have been created by Asian Americans. This book is not
about "Asian American music" but rather about Asian Americans
making music. This key distinction allows the author to track a
wide range of musical genres. Wong covers an astonishing variety of
music, ethnically as well as stylistically: Laotian song, Cambodian
music drama, karaoke, Vietnamese pop, Japanese American taiko,
Asian American hip hop, and panethnic Asian American
improvisational music (encompassing jazz and avant-garde classical
styles). In Wong's hands these diverse styles coalesce brilliantly
around a coherent and consistent set of questions about what it
means for Asian Americans to make music in environments of
inter-ethnic contact, about the role of performativity in shaping
social identities, and about the ways in which commercially and
technologically mediated cultural production and reception
transform individual perceptions of time, space, and society.
"Speak It Louder: Asian Americans" "Making Music" encompasses
ethnomusicology, oral history, Asian American studies, and cultural
performance studies. It promises to set a new standard for writing
in these fields, and will raise new questions for scholars to
tackle for many years to come.
