Jayson Gonzales Sae-Saue takes our conception of Chicana\/o literature as a transnational movement in a new direction, showing that it is not only interested in North-South migrations within the Americas, but is also deeply engaged with East-West interactions across the Pacific.  He also raises serious concerns about how these texts invariably marginalize their Asian characters, suggesting that darker legacies of imperialism and exclusion might lurk beneath their utopian visions of a Chicana\/o nation. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSouthwest Asia\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fresh take on the Chicana\/o literary canon, analyzing how these writers have depicted everything from interracial romances to the wars Americans fought in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.  As it examines novels, plays, poems, and short stories, the book makes a compelling case that Chicana\/o writers have long been at the forefront of theorizing U.S.–Asian relations. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e            Acknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction: The Promise and Problem of Interracial Politics for Chicana\/o Culture\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1         Racial Equivalence and the Transpacific Geographies of Chicana\/o Nationalism in \u003ci\u003eVietnam Campesino\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Revolt of the Cockroach People\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePilgrims in AztlÁ\u003cbr\u003en\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2         Forging and Forgetting Transpacific Identities in AmÉ\u003cbr\u003erico Paredes’\u003cbr\u003es “\u003cbr\u003eIchiro Kikuchi”\u003cbr\u003e and Rolando Hinojosa’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eKorean Love Songs\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3         Conquest and Desire: Interracial Sex in Daniel Cano’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eShifting Loyalties\u003c\/i\u003e and Alfredo VÉ\u003cbr\u003ea’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eGods Go Begging\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4         Through Mexico and Into Asia: A Search for Cultural Origins in Rudolfo Anaya’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eA Chicano in China\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5         Chinese Immigration, Mixed-Race Families, and China-cana Feminisms in Virginia Grise’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eRasgos AsiÁ\u003cbr\u003eticos\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCoda: Chicano Studies Then and Now: Paradigms of Past and Future Critique\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e            Notes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e            Bibliography\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e            Index\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559357542680,"sku":"9780813577166","price":23.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/southwest-asia-the-transpacific-geographies-of-chicana-o-literature-paperback-softback-9780813577166","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
