Crossing distinct literatures, histories, and politics, Giving Form
to an Asian and Latinx America reveals the intertwined story of
contemporary Asian Americans and Latinxs through a shared literary
aesthetic. Their transfictional literature creates expansive
imagined worlds in which distinct stories coexist, offering
artistic shape to their linked political and economic struggles.
Long Le-Khac explores the work of writers such as Sandra Cisneros,
Karen Tei Yamashita, Junot Diaz, and Aimee Phan. He shows how their
fictions capture the uneven economic opportunities of the
post-civil rights era, the Cold War as it exploded across Asia and
Latin America, and the Asian and Latin American labor flows
powering global capitalism today. Read together, Asian American and
Latinx literatures convey astonishing diversity and untapped
possibilities for coalition within the United States'
fastest-growing immigrant and minority communities; to understand
the changing shape of these communities we must see how they have
formed in relation to each other. As the U.S. population approaches
a minority-majority threshold, we urgently need methods that can
look across the divisions and unequal positions of the racial
system. Giving Form to an Asian and Latinx America leads the way
with a vision for the future built on panethnic and cross-racial
solidarity.
