Betrayal and Other Acts of Subversion

Více o knize

Exploring the theme of betrayal, this book delves into the experiences of Asian American women who face accusations of disloyalty within their communities and beyond. Through the lens of literature by notable authors, it examines issues of ethnic belonging, sexuality, and political allegiance. Leslie Bow argues that these women are often seen as boundary markers in societal structures, challenging the notion that feminist and Asian American identities are mutually exclusive. This analysis reveals the male-centric nature of social cohesion and the complexities of identity.
