Is there such a thing as an "Asian American" Literature? The course will survey Asian American writing before WWII, the emergence of Asian American literature as first anthologized in AIIIEEE (1974) to the various cultural, demographic and literary challenges since then posed in terms of gender, sexuality, language and colonialism. Through various literary and filmic texts, we will examine the intersection of gender, sexuality and ethnicity at the level of language in these cultural productions and how these themes have evolved and been challenged throughout the 20th century.
