This book is conceived as a reader for use in American studies,
Asian American studies, ethnic studies, gender studies,
lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender studies, performance studies, and
queer studies. It also contains new scholarship on Asian/American
sexualities that would be useful for faculty and students. In
particular, this volume highlights materials that receive little
academic attention such as works on Southeast Asian migrants, mixed
race cultural production, and Asian/American pornography. As an
interdisciplinary anthology, this collection weaves together
various forms of 'knowledge'_autobiographical accounts, humanistic
research, community-based work, and artistic expression. Responsive
to the imbrication of knowledge and power, the authors aspire to
present a diverse sample of discourses that construct
Asian/American bodies. They maintain that the body serves as the
primary interface between the individual and the social, yet, as
Elizabeth Grosz noted over a decade ago, feminist theory, and
gender and sexuality studies more generally, 'has tended, with some
notable exceptions, to remain uninterested in or unconvinced about
the relevance of refocusing on bodies in accounts of subjectivity.'
This volume attempts to address this concern.
