Framed by a century and a half of racialized Chinese American
musical experiences, Claiming Diaspora explores the thriving
contemporary musical culture of Asian/Chinese America. Ranging from
traditional operas to modern instrumental music, from ethnic media
networks to popular music, from Asian American jazz to the work of
recent avant-garde composers, author Su Zheng reveals the rich and
diverse musical activities among Chinese Americans and tells of the
struggles of Chinese Americans to gain a foothold in the American
cultural terrain. She not only tells their stories, but also
examines the dynamics of the diasporic connections of this musical
culture, revealing how Chinese American musical activities both
reflect and contribute to local, national, and transnational
cultural politics, and challenging us to take a fresh look at the
increasingly plural and complex nature of American cultural
identity.
