Jin Stone

Asian Masculinity, American Identity

Asian American Citizenship through Interracial Relations

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on recent developments in theories of
race, gender, sexuality, identity and nation, this
book is a study of interracial desire as a theme in
literary texts by Asian American male writers. An
important part of this project is the centrality of
race and sexuality in the context of U.S. citizenship
and national identity. Throughout this book the
author seeks to answer these questions: How have the
concepts of race, gender, and sexuality been
incorporated into the definition of American identity
and the granting of American citizenship? What are
the strategies Asian American male writers have
employed to assert their masculinity and national
membership?
This literary study not only gives marginalized
Asian American men an opportunity to express their
own perspectives on issues of race, gender,
sexuality, and identity, but it also seeks to
discover a pro-feminist masculinity as an alternative
to the traditional violent and misogynist stance of
(Asian) American manhood.
