Asian American Women: The Frontiers Reader
No Customer Reviews
Asian American Women brings together landmark scholarship about Asian American women that has appeared in Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies over the last twenty-five years. The essays, written by established and emerging scholars, made a significant impact in the fields of Asian American studies, ethnic studies, women's studies, American studies, history, and pedagogy. The scholarship is still relevant today - broadening our critical understanding of Asian American women's resistance to the forces of racism, patriarchy, militarism, cultural imperialism, neo-colonialism, and narrow forms of nationalism.The essays in this collection reveal the experiences and struggles of Asian American women within a global political, economic, cultural, and historical context. The essays focus on diverse issues, including unconventional Asian American women of the early 1900s; the life of a Japanese war bride; possibilities for trans-national Asian American feminism; the politics of Vietnamese American beauty pageants; mixed race identities and bisexual identities; Filipina healthcare providers; South Asian American representations; and a multiracial exchange on pedagogical interventions.Th
