Taking stock of a century of pervasive loss--of warfare, disease,
and political strife--this eloquent book opens a new view on both
the past and the future by considering "what is lost" in terms of
"what remains." Such a perspective, these essays suggest, engages
and reanimates history. Plumbing the cultural and political
implications of loss, the authors--political theorists, film and
literary critics, museum curators, feminists, psychoanalysts, and
AIDS activists--expose the humane and productive possibilities in
the workings of witness, memory, and melancholy.
"Asian American Studies Now" truly represents the enormous changes occurring in Asian American communities and the world, changes that require a reconsideration of how the interdisciplinary field of Asian American studies is defined and taught. This comprehensive anthology, arranged in four parts and featuring a stellar group of contributors, summarizes and defines the current shape of this rapidly changing field, addressing topics such as transnationalism, U.S. imperialism, multiracial identity, racism, immigration, citizenship, social justice, and pedagogy. Jean Yu-wen Shen Wu and Thomas C. Chen have selected essays for the significance of their contribution to the field and their clarity, brevity, and accessibility to readers with little to no prior knowledge of Asian American studies. Featuring both reprints of seminal articles and groundbreaking texts, as well as bold new scholarship, "Asian American Studies Now" addresses the new circumstances, new communities, and new concerns that are reconstituting Asian America.
