Rudnick Book Prize presented by the New England American Studies Association Across the twentieth century, national controversies involving Asian Americans have drawn attention to such seemingly unremarkable activities as eating rice, greeting customers, and studying for exams. While public debates about Asian Americans have invoked "idian practices to support inconsistent claims about racial difference, diverse aesthetic projects have tested these claims by experimenting with the relationships among habit, body, and identity. In The Racial Mundane, Ju Yon Kim argues that the ambiguous relationship between behavioral tendencies and the body has sustained paradoxical characterizations of Asian Americans as ideal and impossible Americans. The body?s uncertain attachment to its routine motions promises alternately to materialize racial distinctions and to dissolve them. Kim?s study focuses on works of theater, fiction, and film that explore the interface between racialized bodies and everyday enactments to reveal new and latent affiliations. The various modes of performance developed in these works not only encourage audiences to see habitual behaviors differently, but also reveal the stakes of noticing such behaviors at all. Integrating studies of race, performance, and the everyday, The Racial Mundane invites readers to reflect on how and to what effect perfunctory behaviors become objects of public scrutiny. 517 3 $aAsian American Performance and the Embodied Everyday 606 $aHuman behavior$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHabit$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSocial interaction$zUnited States 606 $aPerformance$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAsian Americans$xCultural assimilation$zUnited States 606 $aAsian Americans$xHistory 606 $aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aAsian Americans$xSocieties, etc 606 $aEthnic neighborhoods$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xDiscrimination & Race Relations$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xMinority Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00818666 606 $aAsian Americans$xSocial life and customs$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00818667 606 $aHuman behavior$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00962826 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01730101 606 $aPerformance$xSocial aspects ?2 fast$3(OCoLC)fst01057842 606 $aSocial interaction$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01122562 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aHuman behavior$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHabit$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSocial interaction 615 0$aPerformance$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAsian Americans$xCultural assimilation 615 0$aAsian Americans$xHistory. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xSocieties, etc. 615 0$aEthnic neighborhoods$xHistory. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xDiscrimination & Race Relations. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xMinority Studies. 615 7$aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions 615 7$aAsian Americans$xSocial life and customs 615 7$aHuman behavior$xSocial aspects 615 7$aHuman body$xSocial aspects 615 7$aPerformance$xSocial aspects ?2 fast 615 7$aSocial interaction 676 $a305.895073 700 $aKim$b Ju Yon$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01508161 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797048503321 996 $aThe Racial Mundane$93739436 997 $aUNINA
