| Summary: | Literary Gestures: The Aesthetic in Asian American Writing contests the dominance of materialist and cultural critiques in Asian American literary discourse by re-centering critical attention around issues of aesthetics and literary form.

These contributions bring discussions of genre, canonicity, narrative, and literary. |
