Reviews for Literary Gestures
"A brilliant introduction frames the essays. This groundbreaking book of essays is a must for any scholar of Asian American literary studies, or indeed, ethnic literature in general. Essential." Choice "These scholars effectively critique contemporary multicultural criticism's inability or unwillingness to encompass the aesthetic." MELUS Spring 2007
