520 |a Writing the Ghetto discusses texts that are set in a variety of contexts--from the Chinese Exclusion Era and Japanese American Internment during World War II to the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the contemporary emergence of the "ethnoburh"--Created by such authors as Sui Sin Far, Winnifred Eaton, Monica Sone, Fae Myenne Ng, Changrae Lee, S. Mitra Kalita, and Nam Le. Examining the class structure of Chinatowns, Koreatowns, Little Tokyos, and Little Indias, Chang maintains that over time ghettoization in these spaces has been disguised, and that, due to the influence of an "ethnographic imperative," Astan American writers have alternately assisted and subverted this masking. The relegation of Asian Americans to literal ghettos is further complicated, Chang argues, by the confinement of their authors to literary ones. --Book Jacket. 
520 |a In the United States, perhaps no minority group is considered as successful as the Asian American community which is often described as residing in positive-sounding "ethnic enclaves, "rather than in "ghettoes. "In this volume, Yoonmee Chang exposes the unspoken class inequalities faced by Asian Americans, while insightfully analyzing the effect such nations have had on their literary voices.
