Departing from Jacques Derrida's appropriations of cinders as a
trope of war atrocity aftermath, this book examines writings that
deal with war trauma memories in Asian-American communities. Seeing
war experiences and their associative diasporas and affects as the
core and axis, it considers the multifarious poetics and politics
of minority trauma writings, and posits a possible interpretive
framework for contemporary Asian-American writings, including those
written by Julie Otsuka, Joseph Craig Danner, Monique Truong,
Nguyen Viet Thanh, Janice Lowe Shinebourne, and Andre Lamontagne.
As these writings contain works regarding Japanese-American,
Indo-Chinese Guyanese, Chinese Quebecois, Vietnamese
exiles/refugees, and Vietnam-American experiences, this book
presents a broad cross-cultural view on migration and minority
issues triggered by wars and precarious conditions, as the
diversified experiences examined here epitomize an intricate
historical intimacy across four continents: Asia, the Americas,
Africa and Europe.
