Partridge (Capital Community College, Hartford, Connecticut) presents a reception study of Chinese American literature that seeks to engage a historically grounded reading of contemporary Chinese American literature with current formations of race and ethnicity in America. In particular, the book examines the dynamic relationship between reader expectations of Chinese American literature and the challenges posed by recent Chinese American texts to the assumptions of readers, which push our understanding of multicultural society to a new level. Works by Maxine Hong Kingston, Li-Young Lee, Gish Jen, Shawn Wong, Shirley Geok-lin Lim, and David Wong Louie are included in the discussion. For reception theorists, Asian Americanists, and scholars of race and ethnicity in America. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
