This book is a ground-breaking transnational study of representations of the environment in Asian American literature. Extending and renewing Asian American studies and ecocriticism by drawing the two fields into deeper dialogue, it brings Asian American writers to the center of ecocritical studies. Contributors apply a diversity of critical frameworks, including radical race studies, counter-memory studies, ecofeminism, and geomantic criticism. The book presents a compelling and timely 'green' perspective through which to understand key works of Asian American literature and leads the field of ecocriticism into previously neglected terrain.
