Ty, Eleanor, 1958- (Added Author). Verduyn, Christl, 1953- (Added Author).

Summary: "The essays in this collection explore ways in which Asian Canadian authors and artists have gone beyond what Francoise Lionnet calls autoethnography, or ethnographic autobiography. They demonstrate the ways representations of race and ethnicity, particularly in works by Asian Canadians in the last decade, have changedhave become more playful, untraditional, aesthetically and ideologically transgressive, and exciting."--BOOK JACKET.
