Through the examination of the work of several writers, Xu (English, Florida Atlantic U.) explores how cooking, eating, and food are representative of Asian American identities in terms of race and ethnicity, gender, class, diaspora, and sexuality. She considers the relationship between food and identities in literature by John Okada, Joy Kogawa, Frank Chin, Li-Young Lee, David Wong Louie, Mei Ng, and Monique Truong, and how their narratives are sites of economic, cultural, and political struggle. South Asian literature is not included. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
