✦ Synopsis

Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1999. — 205 p.

Contents:
Fraternal Devotions: Carlos Bulosan and the Sexual Politics of America.
Gish Jen and the Gendered Codes of Americanness.
Transversing Nationalism, Gender, and Sexuality in Jessica Hagedorn’s Dogeaters.
Global-Local Discourse and Gendered Screen Fictions in Karen Tei Yamashita’s Through the Arc of the Rain Forest
Asian American Feminist Literary Criticism on Multiple Terrains.

The work is done at the crossroads of three disciplinary fields — Asian American Studies, American literature, and studies in gender and sexuality. In addition to being a literary analysis of four Asian American novels, this book scrutinizes the ideologies that make possible and favor certain types of readings, by limning which political interests are served when certain narratives and not others are deemed appropriate to the ethnopolitical stakes of Asian American writing. The author argues that interpreting Asian American literature in accordance with ethnic-based political commitments often constrains the intelligibility of stories focused on kinship, family dynamics, eroticism, and gender roles.
