What does it mean to be queer and Asian-American at the turn of the century? This title considers how Asian-American racial identity and queer sexuality interconnect in mutually shaping and complicating ways. It gathers an array of voices and experiences that represent the communities of a queer Asian-America.

Tells us about the complex social and political issues depicted by Asian-American playwrights. In this title, the author argues that playwrights produce a different conception of "Asian-America" in accordance with their unique set of sensibilities.

Deals with the extent to which South Asian Americans are and ought to be included within Asian America as that term is applied to academic programs and admission policies; grassroots community organizing and politics more broadly; and, critical analyses of cultural products.

Gathers together eleven plays that speak in the "hybridized American voices of Asian descent - and often dissent." This book features plays that testify to the complexity of Asian-American experience while they also demonstrate the different styles and thematic concerns of the individual playwrights.
