"A polemic against Asian American stereotypes as well as a case for how to heal and move forward. [...] Camp envisages a reality that allows Asian Americans to center--and care for--themselves." --Kirkus Reviews

"Approachable and inviting, Bay Area artist and educator Ellie Yang Camp makes her debut by unpacking the complexities of what it means to be Asian American and, importantly, why self-love matters." --San Francisco Chronicle

"A particular strength throughout the book is how [Camp] integrates perspectives from Black and Indigenous writers along with Asian American authors, which accomplishes two critically significant goals that differentiate Camp's book from many others with a similar focus on Asian American racial identity: (a) the refusal to center Whiteness (or assimilation) to explain what it means to be Asian American, and (b) comparatively analyzing racialized experiences. [...] Camp's call for sustainable action and cross-racial coalitions are critical during these highly distressing and troubling times, but should also remind all of us that we no longer can (or should) rely on our nation's long-standing institutions and systems to help or save us." --Teachers College Record

"Knowing that racism is often oversimplified into a clash between Black and white identities, Camp offers a way for Asian Americans to build an intersectional and anti-racist understanding of our identities through practical steps and anecdotal stories to help us become good allies. [...] Don't let the caring tone fool you: Camp still shares many things that can be hard for people to hear. She doesn't pull punches, even when it may paint her in a bad light or piss people off." --Mochi Magazine

"As an educator, Yang's approach invites people of Asian heritage to consider ideas about race that they had not considered before. This book makes an excellent read for Asian Americans who are just waking up to their identities as racialized beings in the American context. [...] Yang breaks down these concepts in ways that people without grounding in social justice can understand." --Portland Book Review

"For those who've always had an underlying sense of unease at the strange niche carved out for people of Asian descent in the American political and cultural landscape, Louder Than the Lies will help them process that feeling and find ways to work toward a more equitable future for all." --Washington Independent Review of Books

"Louder Than the Lies is an essential read for understanding Asian American identity. It is a testament to Ellie Yang Camp's commitment to our community." --Linda Yoon and Soo Jin Lee, coauthors of Where I Belong

"Louder than the Lies gives the Asian diaspora community the necessary language and historical context to understand our ever-evolving identity as Asian Americans. This is and will be a necessary and useful tool for generations to come." --Jenny Wang, author of Permission to Come Home

"Especially in this era of rising anti-Asian hate, it's vital to have a book like Louder Than the Lies out in the world. Ellie Yang Camp provides invaluable insights and resources to help our community better understand where this hate comes from, how it impacts how we see ourselves, and how we can work together to overcome it." --Dion Lim, Emmy Award-winning news anchor and author of Amplify! My Fight for Asian America

"Right now there is a drastic and urgent need for more Asian American voices, and especially Asian American women's voices. Ellie has been a passionate leader in this space, and she has been instrumental in my own understanding of Asian American history and how that shapes who I am now. She is conscientious, wise, and patient in her approach and truly motivated by making the world a more just and hopeful place for everyone. I wish I had a book like hers when I was younger and am excited for the next generation of Asian Americans to have Ellie as a teacher." --Jeremy Lin, NBA Champion
