Sommario/riassunto

Anderson explores the cultural and political exchanges between African Americans, Asian Americans, and Asians over the last four decades. To do so, she examines various cultural productions including novels, films, and Japanese animation all of which feature cross-cultural conversations. In exploring the ways in which writers and artists use this transferral, the author traces and tests the limits of how Afro-Asian cultural production interrogates conceptions of race, ethnic identity, politics, and transnational exchange.
