From the Great Depression to the Second World War to the Civil Rights Movement to landmark immigrations reforms, Asian American literature provides unique and insightful perspectives on these historical developments, all while creatively engaging with globally-dispersed decolonization movements.

Case studies of major authors of this era show this as a time when the figure of the Asian American author became newly significant.
