About This Book

"Chinese American writers transform a historical discourse into a historicist one to review history, an intrapersonal discourse into an interpersonal one to redefine autobiography, and a mythological discourse into a mythopoetical one to rewrite mythology, so as to transform an American Orientalist discourse into a Chinese American one for the reading and writing of Chinese American literature.

As a consequence, the question "What is a Chinese American?" is transformed into an affirmation of what a Chinese American is."--BOOK JACKET.
