The book considers more than a century of Asian American writing, from Eaton's Mrs. Spring Fragrance (1912) to Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being (2013), through an ecocritical lens. The volume explores the most relevant landmarks in Asian American literature: the first-contact narratives written by Bulosan, Kingston, Mukherjee and Jen; the controversial texts published by Sui Sin Far (Edith Eaton) at the time of the Yellow Peril; the rise of cultural nationalism in the 1970s and 1980s, illustrated by Wong's Homebase and Kingston's China Men; old and recent examples of "internment literature" dealing with the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII (Sone, Houston, Miyake, Kadohata); and the new trends in Asian American literature since the 1990s, exemplified by Yamashita's and Ozeki's novels, which explore the challenges of our transnational, transnatural era. Begoña Simal-González's ecocritical readings of these texts provide crucial interdisciplinary insights, addressing and analyzing important narratives within Asian American culture and literature. . 410 0$aLiteratures, Cultures, and the Environment,$x2946-3165 606 $aOriental literature 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aCommunication in the environmental sciences 606 $aAsian Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aEnvironmental Communication 615 0$aOriental literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCommunication in the environmental sciences. 615 14$aAsian Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aEnvironmental Communication. 676 $a810.9895 676 $a810.9895073 700 $aSimal-González$b Begoña$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0879807 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483985903321 996 $aEcocriticism and Asian American Literature$92268923 997 $aUNINA
