The Oxford Handbook of Twentieth-Century American Literature
The Oxford Handbook of Twentieth-Century American Literature is designed around an impossibility: that of representing the diversity of the texts and methodologies that comprise—as well as trouble—the field. Rather than attempt a compilation of one hundred years’ worth of novels, poetry, autobiography, and other forms of narration and writing that would provide an illusory notion of coverage or representation, this volume seeks to foreground the …

Racist Love
In Racist Love Leslie Bow traces the ways in which Asian Americans become objects of anxiety and desire. Conceptualizing these feelings as "racist love," she explores how race is abstracted and then projected onto Asianized objects. Bow shows how anthropomorphic objects and images such as cartoon animals in children's books, home décor and cute tchotchkes, contemporary visual art, and artificially intelligent robots function as repositories of se…
Racial Abstraction and Species Difference
This essay explores anthropomorphism in contemporary children's literature, books in which animals model racialized behaviors in order to promote racial resilience and "teach tolerance." Unveiling the unintended consequences of invoking species difference as a form of racial abstraction, the essay contextualizes "multicultural" picture books that enlist animal surrogates within the "here and now" innovations of Lucy Sprague Mitchell's Bank Street…
Racist Cute
This essay engages a new iteration of racial kitsch, the anthropomorphic Asian object. Unlike ethnic Halloween costumes, American Indian mascots, and mammy cookie jars, these mundane household items evade recognition as racist caricature through their aesthetic form, kawaii or cute-style. This essay explores the association between racial caricature and harm through the ambivalent affective responses evoked by cute things. Arguing that kawaii Asi…

Humanities Hegemony
Humanities Hegemony? Leslie Bow (bio) At the 2013 Association for Asian American Studies conference in Seattle, President Mary Yu Danico asked plenary speakers to comment on “real or imagined divisions within Asian American Studies across disciplines.” If, implicitly, we were to address the marginalization of the social sciences in AAAS, I recognize that being in English locates me on the side of an unspoken hegemony. Ironically, it’s that very p…
Transracial/Transgender
My article poses the question, “What does it mean to represent as ‘trans’ or between categories of state‐enforced identity?” in order to draw an analogy between the “transracial” and the “transgendered.” In thinking about how transgenderism contributes to a deeper understanding of the legacy of racial segregation, the article begins by twinning icons of segregation: “colored”/“white” drinking fountains and the gender‐segregated restroom doors. It…
"Racial Interstitiality and the Anxieties of the "Partly Colored
This article analyzes the implications of the James Loewen's thesis that Chinese Americans in Mississippi elevated their caste status under Jim Crow from "colored" to "near white." Analyzing academic, popular cultural, and visual depictions of the Chinese and other Asian Americans in the segregated South, the article uncovers the jarring moments that attend the claim of status rise—here, of Asian "near-whiteness." More specifically, it argues tha…

Betrayal and Other Acts of Subversion
Asian American women have long dealt with charges of betrayal within and beyond their communities. Images of their "disloyalty" pervade American culture, from the daughter who is branded a traitor to family for adopting American ways, to the war bride who immigrates in defiance of her countrymen, to a figure such as Yoko Ono, accused of breaking up the Beatles with her "seduction" of John Lennon. Leslie Bow here explores how representations of fe…
The Gendered Subject of Human Rights
Jn 1995, the New York Times pronounced the emergence of a new South Africa, this time, in Asia.1 Burma, now known as Myanmar, was reported to be the target of an international divestment campaign on the basis of its human rights and environmental abuses.2 This shift from South Africa to Burma as recipient of the dubious honor of greatest human rights abuser arose from the events of 1988, in which the military fired on a crowd of prodemocracy demo…
