The book considers more than a century of Asian American writing, from Eaton’s \u003ci\u003eMrs. Spring Fragrance\u003c\/i\u003e (1912) to Ozeki's \u003ci\u003eA Tale for the Time Being \u003c\/i\u003e(2013), through an ecocritical lens\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e The volume explores the most relevant landmarks in Asian American literature: the first-contact narratives written by Bulosan, Kingston, Mukherjee, and Jen; the controversial texts published by Sui Sin Far (Edith Eaton) at the time of the Yellow Peril; the rise of cultural nationalism in the 1970s and 1980s, illustrated by Wong’s \u003ci\u003eHomebase\u003c\/i\u003e and Kingston’s \u003ci\u003eChina Men; \u003c\/i\u003eold and recent examples of “internment literature” dealing with the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII (Sone, Houston, Miyake, Kadohata); and the new trends in Asian American literature since the 1990s, exemplified by Yamashita’s andOzeki’s novels, which explore the challenges of our transnational, transnatural era. Begoña Simal-González’s ecocritical readings of these texts provide crucial interdisciplinary insights, addressing and analyzing important narratives within Asian American culture and literature. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-01-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030356170\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-35618-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 273\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46795541676172,"sku":"9783030356170","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030356170.jpg?v=1774037559","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030356170","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
