| Summary: | In this age of rapid transition, Asian American studies and American studies in general are being reconfigured to reflect global migrations and the diverse populations of the United States. Asian American literature, in particular, has embodied the crisis of identity that is at the heart of larger academic and political debates surrounding diversity and the inclusion and exclusion of immigrant and refugee groups. These issues underlie the very principles on which literature, culture, and art are produced, preserved, taught, and critiqued. Words Matter is the first collection of interviews with 20th-century Asian American writers. The conversations that have been gathered here-interviews with twenty writers possessing unique backgrounds, perspectives, thematic concerns, and artistic priorities-effectively dispel any easy categorizations of people of Asian descent. These writers comment on their own work and speak frankly about aesthetics, politics, and the challenges they have encountered in pursuing a writing career. They address, among other issues, the expectations attached to the label "Asian American," the burden of representation shouldered by ethnic artists, and the different demands of "mainstream" and ethnic audiences |

Jul 2021) In this age of rapid transition, Asian American studies and American studies in general are being reconfigured to reflect global migrations and the diverse populations of the United States. Asian American literature, in particular, has embodied the crisis of identity that is at the heart of larger academic and political debates surrounding diversity and the inclusion and exclusion of immigrant and refugee groups. These issues underlie the very principles on which literature, culture, and art are produced, preserved, taught, and critiqued. Words Matter is the first collection of interviews with 20th-century Asian American writers. The conversations that have been gathered here-interviews with twenty writers possessing unique backgrounds, perspectives, thematic concerns, and artistic priorities-effectively dispel any easy categorizations of people of Asian descent. These writers comment on their own work and speak frankly about aesthetics, politics, and the challenges they have encountered in pursuing a writing career. They address, among other issues, the expectations attached to the label "Asian American," the burden of representation shouldered by ethnic artists, and the different demands of "mainstream" and ethnic audiences In English LITERARY CRITICISM / American / Asian American bisacsh American literature Asian American authors History and criticism Theory, etc Asian Americans in literature Asian Americans Interviews Asian Americans Intellectual life Authors, American 20th century Interviews Authorship Alexander, Meena 1951-2018 (DE-588)119173689 ctb Cheung, King-Kok 1954- (DE-588)172019931 ctb Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee ctb Gotanda, Philip Kan ctb Hagedorn, Jessica Tarahata 1949- (DE-588)124255159 ctb https://doi.org/10.1515/9780824865641 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
