Reviews for Orientations: Mapping Studies in the Asian Diaspora
“Bristling with provocations, this timely collection of intoxicating essays interrogates the margins of disciplinary and institutional centers, revealing unsettling glimpses of the intellectual and material investments in ‘Asia,’ ‘America,’ and the fields that figure and are configured by them.”—Gary Y.
