Form And Transformation: In Asian American Literature

Drawing on current theoretical movements, this anthology examines Asian American literature from the earliest to the most recent writers. The contributors discuss the work of specific authors, such as Jade Snow Wong, Bharati Mukherjee and Chang-rae Lee, but also engage in larger questions concerning Asian America’s relation to mainstream American and the impact of this relationship on Asian American traditions.
