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 invisible 410 0$aEdinburgh critical guides to literature. 606 $aAmerican literature$xAsian American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAsian American authors 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAsian American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAsian American authors. 676 $a810.9895073 700 $aAdams$b Bella$01807921 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960349003321 996 $aAsian American literature$94357915 997 $aUNINA
