RESISTING DIASPORA AND TRANSNATIONAL DEFINITIONS IN MONIQUE TRUONG’S THE BOOK OF SALT, PETER BACHO’S CEBU, AND OTHER FICTION by DEBORA STEFANI Under the Direction of Ian Almond and Pearl McHaney ABSTRACT Even if their presence is only temporary, diasporic individuals are bound to disrupt the existing order of the pre-structured communities they enter. Plenty of scholars have written on how identity is constructed; I investigate the power relations that form when components such as ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, class, and language intersect in diasporic and transnational movements. How does sexuality operate on ethnicity so as to cause an existential crisis? How does religion function both to reinforce and to hide one’s ethnic identity? Diasporic subjects participate in the resignification of their identity not only because they encounter (semi)-alien, socio-economic and cultural environments but also because components of their identity mentioned above realign along different trajectories, and this realignment undoubtedly affects the way they interact in the new environment.

  • Masculinity, Food, and Appetite in Frank Chin's Donald Duk and “The
    2 Masculinity, Food, and Appetite in Frank Chin’s Donald Duk and “The Eat and Run Midnight People” [T]he male body is understood as powerful, big and strong, “with enormous, imperative, brutal needs” which are asserted when eating. —Deborah Lupton, Food, the Body, and the Self [T]he stereotype of male eating habits originated in the bush, and included a lack of table manners for the expression of a rude, hearty appetite, simply cooked meat, damper baked in the ashes of camp fires and meat pies and tomato sauce. —Michael Symons, One Continuous Picnic The name Frank Chin provokes controversy among Asian American readers and scholars, but almost all agree that masculinity has preoccupied his entire literary and critical career. Almost all his writings aim at dismantling the U.S. hegemonic, emasculating representations of Asian American males, even when this agenda must sometimes be carried out at the expense of Asian American women and gay men. Recognizing his homophobic and macho tendencies, I nevertheless value Chin’s literary attempts to assail the prevailing stereotype of Asian American male sexuality. His is not only an important but also a neces- sary project in the evolution of Asian American aesthetics. Moving away from the black masculine model (such as in The Chickencoop Chinaman), Chin in his imagination of a proud Chinese American manhood turns to Asian and Asian American cultures in his 1991 novel, Donald Duk. While Donald Duk is no exception in its goal, it is a departure from the angry tone that dominates his earlier works, such as “Racist Love” (1972), “The Chickencoop China- man” (1981), and “Come All Ye Asian American Writers of the Real and the Fake!” (1991).

  • Some Thoughts on Aiiieeeee! in 2019 by Shawna Yang Ryan
    Asian American Literature: Discourses and Pedagogies 10 (2019/20) 42-44. Some Thoughts on Aiiieeeee! in 2019 By Shawna Yang Ryan On my office wall hangs a framed page from an 1886 issue of Harper’s Weekly depicting, “A Haunt of the Highbinders in Chinatown.” Along the right-hand side are illustrations of some of these highbinders—Lee Ah Fook, Chu Ah Lung—and at the top are their “favorite weapons”: a butcher knife, an axe, a variety of swords. The picture is a gift from my father-in-law, who was born in and grew up in San Francisco’s Chinatown. His mother passed through Angel Island pregnant with him, and a family picture shows him in the arms of Presbyterian missionary and Chinatown icon, Donaldina Cameron. He represents what I’ve always thought of as the archetypical Chinese American identity, one linked to San Francisco, to Angel Island, to paper sons and the Chinese exclusion laws. As a daughter of an immigrant from Taiwan, this history felt much more grounded in American soil than mine, a little bit mythical even. When I return to the introduction to Aiiieeeee! in 2019 I think that my father-in- law might have identified with Chin and his colleagues’ assertions about Chinese American identity. In the 20th century there was a certain way of being Chinese American that Aiiieeeee!, depending on which embodiment we are talking about, helped to expose, rebuke, or dismantle—or to elevate. There was a history that it helped to restore. Aiiieeee! set the terms of the conversation that I walked into as a writer, as an Asian American writer of Taiwanese-Chinese descent.

  • Nostalgia, Matchmaking and Displacement in Filipino American Narrative
    ODISEA, Nº 1, 2001, PÁGS. 39-48 FLIPPING ACROSS THE OCEAN: NOSTALGIA, MATCHMAKING AND DISPLACEMENT IN FILIPINO AMERICAN NARRATIVE Begoña Simal González. Universidade da Coruña ABSTRACT The article addresses the nomadic nature of Filipino American social reality and how that is conveyed through a literature imbued with a peculiarly Filipino exilic sensibility. The literary texts chosen to illustrate this hypothesis are Bienvenido Santoss What The Hell For You Left Your Heart In San Francisco (1987), as well as several short stories: N.V.M. Gonzálezs The Tomato Game (1993), Bienvenido Santoss Immigration Blues (1979), Linda Ty-Caspers Hills, Sky, Longing (1990), and Jessica Hagedorns The Blossoming of Bong Bong (1990). The fiction of Bienvenido Santos, N.V.M. González, and Ty-Casper, portray the nostalgia for an idealized homeland, especially through the oldtimers and old peoples perspective. Both Santos and González also tackle the question of green-card marriages between young Filipinas and oldtimers. On the other hand, Hagedorns story and Santoss novel choose a young immigrant as the focal point who does not echo the elders feeling of homesickness, displacement and exile. If the statement that we are living in a diasporic world is taken to be true, then the Filipino American community is one of the most paradigmatic examples of that condition. In the last century, Filipinos and Filipinas have been Spanish, American and Pilipin@s. Therefore, their legal status in America has dramatically changed in a matter of years, and the Filipino American community has travelled from an incipient symbiosis with their colonizers/hosts to the realization that a new identity had to be forged in an urgently needed literature of self- appraisal (González & Campomanes, 1997: 72; see Campomanes, 1992: 50-51, 72).
