Asian American literature is one of the most recent forms of ethnic
literature and is already becoming one of the most prominent, given
the large number of writers, the growing ethnic population from the
region, the general receptivity of this body of work, and the
quality of the authors. In recent decades, there has been an
exponential growth in their output and much Asian American
literature has now achieved new levels of popular success and
critical acclaim. Nurtured by rich and long literary traditions
from the vast continent of Asia, this literature is poised between
the ancient and the modern, between the East and West, and between
the oral and the written. The Historical Dictionary of Asian
American Literature and Theater covers the activities in this
burgeoning field. First, its history is traced year by year from
1887 to the present, in a chronology, and the introduction provides
a good overview. The most important section is the dictionary, with
over 600 substantial and cross-referenced entries on authors,
books, and genres as well as more general ones describing the
historical background, cultural features, techniques and major
theatres and clubs. More reading can be found through an extensive
bibliography with general works and those on specific authors. The
book is thus a good place to get started, or to expanded one s
horizons, about a branch of American literature that can only grow
in importance."
