Reviews

“Wen Liu’s examination of the contradictions of Asian American subjectivity does to assimilation and exclusion what Lauren Berlant’s concept of cruel optimism does to hope. Conflicting drives of accommodation and revolt put Asian Americans in psychic captivity, giving rise to wounded attachments to forms of life that prevent us from flourishing. What could result from this bind other than rage and despair? Feeling Asian American brilliantly reveals what’s the beef.”--David L. Eng, coauthor of Racial Melancholia, Racial Dissociation: On the Social and Psychic Lives of Asian Americans
