Since its emergence in the late 1960s, Asian American studies has been simultaneously a site for the critique of knowledge formations and a site for the generation of practices aimed at social change. T h e contemporary shift in the demographics of the Asian population within the United States, and the international, political, social, and economic forces of which those demographics are an index, are currently initiating reformulations of the objects and methods of Asian American study. T h e essays in this volume, we think, are both integral to and symptomatic of these reformulations. They persist in linking epistemological critique with projects for social and economic justice, yet most of them redefine the terrain of the "political" in ways that suggest the necessary challenge to notions of political subjectivity and practice defined exclusively within the public sphere of the U.S. nationstate
