"Transgressive Transcripts" examines the construction of women's
subjectivity and the textual production of Canadian female voices
orchestrated in history, culture, ethnicity, and sexuality. The
book, stressing the dissemination and re-inscription of femaleness
and femininity in Chinese Canadian history, employs critical models
that defy the sexual/textual imaginary of the Canadian literary
scene. Four fields of study are conjoined: feminist theories of the
body, gender and sexuality studies, women's writing, and Asian
North Amer-ican studies. Analysing four writers, SKY Lee, Larissa
Lai, Lydia Kwa, and Evelyn Lau, the book anchors its thematic and
theoretical concern with female sexuality in the context of Chinese
Canadian writing. Feminist narratives and gender politics in
contemporary Asian North American literature are highlighted via
the trope of 'transgression'.
