Assimilating Asians by Patricia P Chu
Demonstrates that Asian American male and female writers engage different strategies in the struggle to adapt, reflecting their particular, gender-based relationships to immigration, work, and cultural representation.
“Bringing fresh perspectives to much-discussed work, Assimilating Asians is a fine book”—Elaine Kim, University of California, Berkeley
“Chu brings social theory and literary analysis together with smart and elegant readings. Hers is one of the first works of Asian American literary criticism to foreground the gendered aspects of narratives of assimilation.”—Priscilla Wald, author of Constituting Americans: Cultural Anxiety and Narrative Form
