Bøker av Deborah Wong

The author presents a cultural study of the phenomenon of Asian American taiko, the thundering, athletic drumming tradition that originated in Japan. Through her participatory ethnographic work, she reveals a complicated story embedded in memories of Japanese American internment and legacies of imperialism, Asian American identity and politics, a desire to be seen and heard, and the intersection of culture and global capitalism.

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.
