Hyphen Magazine - Asia America Unabridged
Hyphen Magazine has been around since 2003, when a group of San Francisco Bay Area journalists, activists, and artists formed the independent magazine that targets Asian Americans who are culturally and politically savvy. That you?
Why check it out? Because Hyphen is, like its readers, "many things--cool librarian, shy musician, dorky hipster, cute techie. Like Asian America, its interests are varied--politics, art, health, music. Much like the hyphen connects words and concepts, Hyphen magazine connects readers with Asian America as it happens."
Oh yes, Hyphen is intelligent and does something diff...
"(1) Because we're bored with first-person essays about discovering our roots. Hello, can we stop talking about our roots, which we found a long time ago thank-you-very-much, and move on? Can we talk about people doing interesting things because they're interesting, not just because they're Asian American and always making statements about their identity?"
(2) Because we'll yawn if we see another interview with the same three Asians the mainstream approves of. We want to hear about emerging artists, writers, filmmakers, performers, and musicians.
(3) Because we're Asian American, not Asian.
(4) Because when we scanned the newsstand, we couldn't find ourselves. Now we can."
