Louder Than the Lies: Asian American Identity, Solidarity, and Self-Love by Ellie Yang Camp

5.0

Gifted by the author

Very helpful guidelines that help us identify systemic biases and reshape our own ideas of what it means to be Asian American. This book is comprehensive in that it illustrates frameworks we can use in our day to day lives to understand a white supremacist system, and actual steps we can take to dismantle internal and external biases.

Since it’s meant as a guidebook, some parts are more introductory, and depending on the reader’s knowledge of Asian American history and experience in antiracist work, some information might not be new. Regardless, Camp has written an incredible framework that can help readers understand the world we live in and create a better environment for everyone.
