Reading Asian American Literature by Sau-Ling Cynthia Wong
How is the growing body of Asian American works to be read? What holds them together to constitute a tradition? What distinguishes this tradition from the 'mainstream' canon and other 'minority' literatures? This book explores their implications for the multiculturalist agenda.
"The first comprehensive theoretical praxis for Asian American literature since Elain Kim's 1982 work..Wong's virtuosity with sophisticated theory and massive amounts of data ably demonstrates the rigor and range of Asian American Studies."--American Literature
