"This book advances a new concept of the "Asian diaspora" that creates links between
Asian American, Asian Canadian, and Asian Australian identities. Drawing from comparable
studies of the black diaspora, it traces the histories of colonialism, immigration,
and exclusion shared by these three populations. The work of Asian poets in each of
these three countries offers a rich terrain for understanding how Asian identities
emerge at the intersection of national and transnational flows, with the poets' thematic
and formal choices reflecting the varied pressures of social and cultural histories,
as well as the influence of Asian writers in other national locations. Diasporic Poetics
argues that racialized and nationally bounded "Asian" identities often emerge from
transnational political solidarities, from Third World struggles against colonialism
to the global influence of the American civil rights movement. Indeed, I show that
Asian writers disclaim national belonging as often as they claim it, placing Asian
diasporic writers at a critical distance from the national spaces within which they
write. As the first full-length study to compare Asian American, Asian Canadian, and
Asian Australian writers, the book offers the historical and cultural contexts necessary
to understand the distinctive development of Asian writing in each country, while
also offering close analysis of the work of writers such as Janice Mirikitani, Fred
Wah, Ouyang Yu, Myung Mi Kim, and Cathy Park Hong"--Publisher's description
