There is a tendency to think of Korean American literature-and
Asian American literature writ large-as a field of study involving
only two spaces, the United States and Korea, with the same being
true in Asian studies of Korean Japanese (Zainichi) literature
involving only Japan and Korea. This book posits that both fields
have to account for three spaces: Korean American literature has to
grapple with the legacy of Japanese imperialism in the United
States, and Zainichi literature must account for American
interventions in Japan. Comparing Korean American authors such as
Younghill Kang, Chang-rae Lee, Ronyoung Kim, and Min Jin Lee with
Zainichi authors such as Kaneshiro Kazuki, Yi Yang-ji, and Kim
Masumi, Minor Transpacific uncovers their hidden dialogue and
imperial concordances, revealing the trajectory and impact of both
bodies of work. Minor Transpacific bridges the fields of Asian
studies and Asian American studies to unveil new connections
between Zainichi and Korean American literatures. Working in
Japanese and English, David S. Roh builds a theoretical framework
for articulating those moments of contact between minority
literatures in a third national space and proposes a new way of
conceptualizing Asian American literature.
