Book Description
"In this collection, award-winning writer Marianne Villanueva writes of the contrary beauty, ugliness, and violence of her native land, the Philippines, as well as of the myriad contradictions of immigrant life in the new landscapes of America. In the title story, a Filipina-American emigrant living in Silicon Valley tries to make sense of her native country by following the trial of a provincial mayor accused of gang raping a teenage school girl, a "gift" from his nephew. In the tropical Gothic story, "Rufino," the narrator learns of the death of her family's driver who has lived for lonely decades "caged" above their garage. From the heart-breaking "Infected" to the brutal "Sutil" Villanueva brilliantly blends past and present in a seamless undercurrent of emotion and longing."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Negotiating Identities is a study of the development of writing by Asian American women in the 20th century, with particular emphasis on the successful late 20th century writers such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Joy Kogawa, Bharati Mukherjee, and Gish Jen. It relates the development of Asian writing by women in America – with a comparative element incorporating Britain – to a series of theoretical preoccupations: the mother/daughter dyad, biracialism, ethnic histories, citizenship, genre, and the idea of 'home'.
