"War Baby / Love Child" examines hybrid Asian American identity
through a collection of essays, artworks, and interviews at the
intersection of critical mixed race studies and contemporary art.
The book pairs artwork and interviews with 19 emerging, mid-career,
and established mixed race/mixed heritage Asian American artists,
including Li-lan and Kip Fulbeck, with scholarly essays exploring
such topics as Vietnamese Amerasians, Korean transracial adoptions,
and multiethnic Hawai'i. As an increasingly ethnically ambiguous
Asian American generation is coming of age in an era of "optional
identity," this collection brings together first-person
perspectives and a wider scholarly context to shed light on
changing Asian American cultures.
This multiauthor volume features a foreward by Kent A. Ono, a
co-authored preface and introductory essay by the editors, 19
original artist interviews conducted by the editors, and original
essays from Wei Ming Dariotis and the contributing authors: Camilla
Fojas, Stuart Gaffney, Rudy Guevarra, Jr., Eleana J. Kim, Richard
Lou, Margo Machida, Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu, Lori Pierce, Cathy
J. Schlund-Vials, Ken Tanabe, and Wendy Thompson-Taiwo.
Laura Kina is associate professor of art, media, and design at
DePaul University. Wei Ming Dariotis is associate professor of
Asian American studies at San Francisco State University.

innovative project that expands the field of Asian American studies
by using visual art as a point of entry and analysis for the
discipline." -Mark Johnson, editor of "Asian American Art: A

textual, historical, and scholarly context provided by established
and emerging scholars in Asian American Studies." -Nitasha Sharma,
author of "Hip Hop Desis: South Americans, Blackness, and Global
Race Consciousness"
