Asian American Fiction After 1965
After the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act loosened discriminatory restrictions, people from Northeast Asian countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and eventually China immigrated to the United States in large numbers.

Christopher T. Fan offers a new way to understand Asian American fiction through the lens of the class and rac...
