The focus of this book is on contemporary writing, from the 1970's onwards, although it also traces over a hundred years of Asian American literary production in prose, poetry, drama and criticism. The main body of the book comprises five periodized chapters that highlight important events in a nation-state that has historically rendered Asian Americans invisibleEdinburgh Critical Guides to LiteratureAmerican literatureAmerican literatureAsian American authorsHistory and criticismAmerican literature.American literatureAsian American authorsHistory and criticism810.9895073Adams Bella1565211AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910777488103321Asian American Literature3834654UNINA
