Imagine Otherwise: On Asian Americanist Critique
ISBN: 9780822331407 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Imagine Otherwise" is an incisive critique of the field of Asian American studies. Recognizing that the rubric "Asian American" elides crucial differences, Kandice Chuh argues for reframing Asian American studies as a study defined not by its subjects and objects, but by its critique. Toward that end, she urges the foregrounding of the constructedness of "Asian American" formations and shows how this understanding of the field provides the basis for continuing to use the term "Asian American" in light of--and in spite of--contemporary critiques about its limitations.

Arguing for a more nuanced approach to the mysterious mix of pleasure, pain, and power in performances of sexuality, she advances a theory of productive perversity, a theory which allows Asian/American women and by extension other women of color to lay claim to their own sexuality...

Chinese in Minnesota
ISBN: 9780873514705 / Angielski / Miękka / 101 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Minnesota's first Chinese settlers, fleeing racial violence in California, established scores of small businesses after they arrived in the late 1870s. Newspapers eagerly published reports of the small Chinese community's activities, including New Year's festivities, marriages, and restaurant openings--as well as allegations of tong activity and of their political ties to China. Beginning in 1882 federal laws stopping Chinese immigration and denying citizenship put particular pressure on the community, which was also accused of resisting Americanization. By the 1960s, a new wave of...
