My goal in this paper is to solve a question: how did Asian American poets articulate their ethnicity through their poetry reading? Japanese American poets Lawson Fusao Inada (1938-) creates jazz poetry, which are devoted to the theme of his experience of Japanese American internment. Therefore, I will describe the historical racial issue in America through an examination of Lawson Fusao Inada’s poetry reading about a concentration camp, with an emphasis on the racial solidarity evoked by jazz music. Investigating jazz, which is created by non-African minorities, may lead to solving the complexity of multiculturalism in America. I. Lawson Fusao Inada and his Works Lawson Fusao Inada, a third-generation (sansei) Japanese American, was born on May 26, 1938 in Fresno, California. Inada’s family was living in the west side of Fresno which had a “racially mixed working-class community.”(Huang, 145) The place Inada and his family lived is divided by a railway from the white in the east and the minorities in the west.

  • 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.
