Through a comparative analysis of David Henry Hwang's \u003ci\u003eM.

The book proposes that underwritten by the vast histories of American imperial migrations, there are texts and bodies which challenge and reconstitute the ever-vexed definition of American. In re-membering such bodies, Maria C. Zamora proclaims our bodies as actual living texts, texts that are constantly bearing, contesting, and transforming meaning. \u003ci\u003eNation, Race \u0026amp; History in Asian American Literature\u003c\/i\u003e will engage scholars interested in cultural and critical theory, citizenship and national identity, race and ethnicity, the body, gender studies, and transnational literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611102199959,"sku":"9781433102684","price":4245.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781433102684.webp?v=1775069166","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nation-race-history-in-asian-american-literature-re-membering-the-body-9781433102684","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
