1. Writing Self, Writing Nation
A collection of critical essays that examines how Asian American writers and cultural practices shape individual and collective identity, interrogating themes of migration, diaspora, race, gender, and the politics of representation. It critiques dominant narratives of nationhood and assimilation, analyzes literary texts and cultural debates, and argues for the importance of marginalized voices and transnational perspectives in reshaping notions of self, community, and belonging.
