Locating Asian Australian Cultures is a timely and challenging
interdisciplinary compilation that sets a contemporary benchmark
for Asian Australian studies and its future directions. In the
dynamic field of diasporic Asian studies, Asian Australian Studies
is an emerging and contentious area. While cognisant of issues and
critical developments in North America, Europe, and Asia, Asian
Australian studies forges its own specific engagements with
questions of identity, racialization, and nationalisms in a world
of globalized cultures and movements. This book deliberately
engages with international perspectives on Asian Australian studies
that offer contingent connections and address crucial questions for
fields that are rapidly 'de-nationalizing'. The volume focuses on
Asian Australian cultural production and identity, presenting work
that interrogates notions of belonging and citizenship,
representational politics, and disciplinarity in the academy. The
broad-ranging essays examine the politics of Asian Australian art
and literature, as well as the area's significant interventions in
disciplinary formations nationally and internationally. Other
essays discuss the Vietnamese War memorial in Cabramatta, notions
of the 'sacrificial Asian' in contemporary films, and Chinatown
sites in Australia. This book will be essential reading not only
for researchers in Asian Australian studies but also for those with
an interest in Asian diaspora and Australian studies.
