Abstract: Asian American Studies After Critical Mass is a dynamic collection that showcases the most exciting scholarship in the field from a critical and cultural studies perspective. Comprised of ten original essays written by a group of scholars at the vanguard of the discipline, this collection takes on a range of topics and concerns, including Asian American film and popular culture, Asian Americans at the dawn of the 21st century, globalization and transnational citizenship, and queer Asian America. Taking on some of the most exciting topics in Asian American Studies, this book strikes a bold new path for the field. This book can be used in conjunction with the Blackwell Companion to Asian American Studies.
