| 520 | |a Chinese American authors often find it necessary to represent Asian history in their literary works. Tracing the development of the literary production of Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Lisa See, and Russell Leong, among others, this book captures the effects of international politics and globalization on Chinese American diasporic consciousness. |b In Chinese American literature, countries such as China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore are experienced as well as imagined - experienced because some authors were born in Asia and have first-hand acquaintance with life in their birth-country, imagined because all representation inscribes ideological bias. For US-born authors of Chinese descent, Asia is often imagined with the help of parental stories, reading and research, and awareness of US political involvement and military activities in Asia. For naturalized Chinese American authors, Asia is the site of memories, often manifested as nostalgia or as interrogation and critique. Walter S.H. Lim explores how and why different Chinese American authors arrive at their choice of literary subject-matter and what this choice reveals about the cultural politics of national identity and belonging. Tracing the development of the literary production of Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Lisa See, and Russell Leong, among others, this study captures the effects of international politics and globalization on Chinese American diasporic consciousness. | ||
| 520 | 1 | |a "In refreshingly lucid analyses illuminating a broad range of texts that cross genre, gender, and national categories, Narratives of Diaspora is an important contribution to U.S. and ethnic literary studies, drawing on a keenly historicized postcolonial and transnational scholarship to engage seamlessly with the works of diasporic Chinese Americans from geopolitical territories such as Southeast Asia and China that are often viewed as separate."--Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Research Professor, University of California Santa Barbara, USA, and author of Among the White Moon Faces "Developments in Asian American literature have never been so fascinating - especially when considering, as Walter Lim does in his excellent new book, the geopolitical realities of a transnational Pacific Rim as imagined by an ever-growing body of Chinese American writers. Taking the imagined space of Asia as the object of his critique, Lim shows through thoughtful and provocative readings how recent and canonical writers - from Maxine Hong Kingston to Ha Jin - situate Asia in their works. His conclusion that we are witnessing a shift away from the U.S. as the primary locus of Asian American literature says as much about this literature as it does about our world."--Jeffrey F.L. Partridge, Capital Community College, USA, and author of Beyond Literary Chinatown, an American Book Award Winner from the Before Columbus Foundation, 2007. | |
