    "The quality of the plays in Asian American Plays for a New Generation and the diversity of the themes-interracial desire, racial profiling, and grief-is particularly impressive. The plays engage sophisticated ideas about migration and home; imposture and authenticity; political allegory; fantasy and reality; and, of course, identity politics. Lee’s Introduction and Shiomi’s Afterword serve to frame the work, providing the necessary grounding to orient the reader to the origins-and significance-of this fine volume."
    -Leslie Bow, Professor of English and Asian American Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison
