Description

Explore the complexities of U.S. multiculturalism through the lens of Asian American writings. This academic text by Chae provides a deep look at the differences between politically acquiescent multiculturalism and a more politically conscious approach. By examining various literary works, the book investigates how Asian Americans have been positioned within the American social and economic landscape. It looks at historical and ideological labels such as 'unassimilable aliens', 'yellow perils', 'coolies', and the 'model minority' myth. Readers will understand how these identities were shaped by the historical interactions of capital and labor in the United States. This study is an essential resource for those interested in literary theory, Asian American studies, and the history of social and economic status in the U.S. It offers a clear perspective on how literature reflects and challenges the cultural history of a community.
