Structurally innovative and culturally expansive, the works of
Karen Tei Yamashita invite readers to rethink conventional
paradigms of genres and national traditions. Her novels, plays, and
other texts refashion forms like the immigrant tale, the postmodern
novel, magical realism, apocalyptic literature, and the picaresque
and suggest new transnational, hemispheric, and global frameworks
for interpreting Asian American literature. Addressing courses in
American studies, contemporary fiction, environmental humanities,
and literary theory, the essays in this volume are written by
undergraduate and graduate instructors from across the United
States and around the globe. Part 1, "Materials," outlines
Yamashita's novels and other texts, key works of criticism and
theory, and resources for Asian American and Asian Brazilian
literature and culture. Part 2, "Approaches," provides options for
exploring Yamashita's works through teaching historical debates,
outlining principles of environmental justice, mapping geographic
boundaries to highlight power dynamics, and drawing personal
connections to the texts. Additionally, an essay by Yamashita
describes her own approaches to teaching creative writing.
