Enfiguring Asian/American Women

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Laura Hyun Yi Kang's poised and tactful critique will greatly advance our understanding of the important social crises figured in the representation of 'Asian' women within the discourses of literary studies, cinema, history and historiography, and social science throughout the last century. "Compositional Subjects" is both a critique of the ideological and epistemological stakes of disciplinary formations and a bold exemplary work of interdisciplinarity itself."--Lisa Lowe, author of "Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics"
