Rereading Hisaye Yamamoto and Ty Pak after Black Lives Matter
retrospective reflection on two essays by King-Kok Cheung, written shortly after the 1992 Los
Tribute to David Wong Louie (1954–2018)
New Persepctives on Pearl Buck

In this age of rapid transition, Asian American studies and American studies in general are being reconfigured to reflect global migrations and the diverse populations of the United States. Asian American literature, in particular, has embodied the crisis of identity that is at the heart of larger academic and political debates surrounding diversity and the inclusion and exclusion of immigrant and refugee groups. These issues underlie the very pr…
Chinese American Literature without Borders
This book bridges comparative literature and American studies by using an intercultural and bilingual approach to Chinese American literature. King-Kok Cheung launches a new transnational exchange by
Slanted Allusions
This essay takes issue both with scholars who consider Chinese allusions in Asian American literature as Orientalist and with critics who advocate wholesale reclamation of an Asian (heroic) tradition. It shows through a detailed analysis of two poems how Chinese American writers could resort to bicultural interplay to convey transnational critique, and it contends that such deliberate filtering and revisioning of cultural legacies is in fact one …
The Chinese American Writer as Migrant
Should writers who have left their native countries be spokespersons for the people left behind? Are those who abandon their native language guilty of betrayal and is the adoption of a foreign language necessarily a handicap? How do nomadic literati define their homeland? These are questions posed by Ha Jin in The Writer as Migrant

Articulate Silences
In this pathbreaking book, King-Kok Cheung sheds new light on the thematic and rhetoncal uses of silence in fiction by three Asian American women: Hisaye Yamamoto, Maxine Hong Kingston, and JoyKogawa. Boldly articulating the unspeakable, these writers break the silence imposed by families or ethnic communities and defy the dominant culture that suppresses the voicing of minority experiences. Yet at the same time, they demonstrate how silences-voi…
Thrice Muted Tale
Despite a growing recognition of the ways race and gender shape literature, one still discerns a separation of scholarship between those who see themselves primarily as cultural critics and those who engage exclusively with literary texts. one group tends to view close reading-associated with New Criticism-as conservative and elitist; among the other group are critics who suspect that works by women or people of color are being studied today on p…
Self-fulfilling Visions in The Woman Warrior and Thousand Pieces of Gold
Imaginative vision informs Kingston's autobiography and McCunn's biographical novel, transforming Chinese fantasy into American possibility. Kingston's protagonist learns to fight by seeking inspiration from a legendary woman warrior; McCunn's protagonist maintains her self-esteem by seeking reassurance from the Chinese metaphor for daughter. Although the actual status of daughters belies both the legendary and metaphorical projections, the heroi…
“Don't Tell”
The Color Purple and The Woman Warrior exhibit parallel narrative strategies. The respectively black and Chinese American protagonists work their way from speechlessness to eloquence by breaking through the constraints of sex, race, and language. The heroines turn to masculine figures for guidance, to female models for inspiration, and to native idioms for stylistic innovation. Initially unable to speak, they develop distinctive voices by registe…
