Aspirations of Relationality
If the rubric of the Global Anglophone has come to be largely synonymous with the postcolonial, a development that some commentators have viewed with concern and even alarm, this essay explores a certain politically aspirational potential in the catachrestic elisions this category might engender. For if postcolonial studies has always struggled with a certain exclusionism predicated on how the South Asian context has functioned as its paradigmati…
Hardly Emotion
This essay focuses on two recent books of poetry by Don Mee Choi, Hardly War (2016) and DMZ Colony (2020), for both the historiographical work they do and how poetry and emotion are crucial to that work. These books bring into focus the neocolonial role that the United States has played in Korea, dating from the peninsula's liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945 through the military dictatorships that governed South Korea through the 1990…
The Intimacies of Conflict
Though known primarily in the United States as “the forgotten war,” the Korean War was a watershed event that fundamentally reshaped both domestic conceptions of race and the interracial dimensions of US imperial endeavors as they took shape during the Cold War. The Intimacies of Conflict works against the historical erasure of this event first by returning us to the 1950s, revealing the emotionally compelling dramas of interracial and transnatio…
Translations and Ghostings of History
If we should now think of the global novel as "born translated" and as shaped, in many cases, by a humanitarian ethos of witnessing—as Rebecca Walkowitz and Debjani Ganguly have argued respectively, one nexus for examining how this genre is being transformed is the growing number of works from South Korea that have begun to find an international audience. The focus of this essay is Han Kang, the South Korean writer who has probably developed the …

Cambridge Companion to Asian American Literature
The Borderlands of the Korean War and the Fiction of Rolando Hinojosa
This essay reads the work of Rolando Hinojosa for the ways in which it invites a consideration of the two wars that the United States fought in the middle of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—the US-Mexico War and the Korean War, respectively—as part of a continuous history of US empire. It examines the array of cross-racial identifications operant in his Korean War trilogy—Korean Love Songs, Rites and Witnesses, and The Useless Servants—whi…

Once More, With Feeling
Once More, with Feeling:Cold War Masculinity and the Sentiment of Patriotism in John Okada's No-No Boy Daniel Y. Kim John Okada's 1957 novel, No-No Boy, offers a harrowing account of the psychological damage inflicted on Japanese American subjects by the World War II policy of internment, a damage that was shared—though differently—by those who maintained their sense of loyalty to the U.S. government even as they were rounded up and sent off to "…
Do I, Too, Sing America
Native Speaker is, in many ways, a Korean-American reimagination of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. —A. Magazine With echoes of Ralph Ellison, Chang-rae Lee's extraordinary debut speaks for another kind of invisible man: the Asian immigrant in America. . . a revelatory work of fiction. —Vogue As the comments above suggest—which are included as blurbs for the paperback edition of Chang-rae Lee's debut novel, Native Speaker—a particularly convenient…
