Tricksters and Cosmopolitans is the first sustained exploration
into the history of cross-cultural collaborations between Asian
American writers and their non-Asian American editors and
publishers. The volume focuses on the literary production of the
cosmopolitan subject, featuring the writers Sui Sin Far, Jessica
Hagedorn, Karen Tei Yamashita, Monique Truong, and Min Jin Lee. The
newly imagined cosmopolitan subject that emerges from their works
dramatically reconfigured Asian American female subjectivity in
metropolitan space with a kind of fluidity and ease never before
seen. But as Rei Magosaki shows, these narratives also invariably
expose the problematic side of this figure, which also serves to
perpetuate exploitative structures of Western imperialism and its
legacies in late capitalism. Arguing that the actual establishment
of such a critical standpoint on imperialism and globalization
required the expansive and internationalist vision of editors who
supported, cultivated, and promoted these works, Tricksters and
Cosmopolitans reveals the negotiations between these authors and
their publishers and between the shared investment in both politics
and aesthetics that influenced the narrative structure of key works
in the Asian American literary canon.
