historical role in the conceptualization of Asian American studies
as a field.
* Essays are drawn from international publications, from the
1970s to the present
* Includes coverage of psychology, history, literature, feminism,
sexuality, identity politics, cyberspace, pop culture, queerness,
hybridity, and diasporic consciousness
* Features a useful introduction by the editor reviewing the
selections, and outlining future possibilities for the field
* Can be used alongside Asian American Studies After Critical
Mass, edited by Kent A. Ono, for a complete reference to Asian
American Studies.
