This critical study of Asian American literature discusses work by internationally
successful writers such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Chang-rae Lee, Bharati
Mukherjee, Amy Tan and others in their historical, cultural and critical contexts.
The focus of this book is on contemporary writing, from the
1
970s onwards, but
it also traces over a hundred years of Asian American literary production
in prose, poetry, drama and criticism. The main body of the book comprises five
periodized chapters that highlight important events in a nation-state that has
historically rendered Asian Americans invisible. Of particular importance to
the writers selected for case studies are questions of racial identity, cultural
history and literary value with respect to dominant American ideologies.
Key Features
•
The first readily available introductory guide to Asian American literature with
a Chronology and Glossary of key events and terms
•
Discusses a representative range of Asian American literature, providing a
sense of the diversity of the field and of its key themes and modes of writing
•
Provides close readings of key texts in the form of case studies in their
cultural historical and critical contexts
•
Encourages reflection on questions of literary value, canonicity and the
scope and purpose of literary studies
