Description

This academic volume explores how twentieth-century Korean American novels engage with national histories, citizenship, and transnational contexts through their narrative structures. Rather than presenting linear bildungsroman plotlines with coherent American citizen-subjects, works such as Younghill Kang's East Goes West, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictee, and Chang-rae Lee's A Gesture Life consistently problematise the concept of American identity itself. The study examines how these influential novels challenge conventional expectations of the Korean American literary subject, offering alternative perspectives on belonging, nation, and historical consciousness. Published by Peter Lang Publishing Inc as part of the Asian American Studies series, this book provides critical analysis essential for understanding how Korean American literature questions and reimagines categories of nationality and subjectivity in the modern era.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc presents this as volume 1 in the Asian American Studies series for academic literary study.

The book examines how Korean American narratives problematise conventional American identity and linear citizenship plotlines.
