Description: Southwest Asia : The Transpacific Geographies of Chicana/O Literature, Paperback by Sae-saue, Jayson Gonzales, ISBN 0813577160, ISBN-13 9780813577166, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This volume analyzes why Chicana/o writers like Américo Paredes, Luis Valdez, Rolando Hinojosa, Daniel Cano, Alfredo Véa, Rudolfo Anaya, Oscar Acosta, Miguel Méndez, and Virginia Grise have employed Asian people and places in their novels, plays, poems, and short stories. It argues that the marginalization of Asia and Asians in this literature symbolizes the historical tensions between local community issues and transpacific and interracial issues, showing how the oppositional values of these texts come from the writers' interests in exploring the racial dynamics of Pacific Rim politics and represent how Chicana/o communities perceived the risks of focusing on ethnic differences. It considers the ideological function of Asia and Asians in cultural politics in these texts; how representations of the Pacific Rim contribute to the ways they express social, cultural, and political issues in Mexican American communities; and what the relationship between Chicana/os and Asians in Chicana/o art reveals for understanding the political emergence of Chicana/o cultural values in terms of nation, gender, and class.
