Beschreibung
In their different and yet complementary perspectives, all
of the essays in Asian American Literature in the
International Context: Readings on Fiction, Poetry, and
Performance reiterate the universal lesson of pluralism.
They are divided into sections that deal with biraciality
and biculturality, interethnic negotiations, poetic
creations, narrative experiments, and (re)constructing self.
The wide variety of approaches reflects the contributors’
training in different cultures and across cultures. It
showcases refreshing new perspectives in reading that
combine the views of literary scholars from three different
continents. This collection creates a space for discussion
and commentary, of heightened appreciation and increased
creativity, a forum that turns the discipline of Asian
American Studies into a truly intercultural debate.
