Race and Role: The Mixed-Race Asian Experience in American Drama

Race and Role: The Mixed-Race Asian Experience in American Drama

Race and Role: The Mixed-Race Asian Experience in American Drama

My monograph Race and Role: The Mixed-Race Asian Experience in American Drama  from Rutgers University Press traces the shifting identities of multiracial Asian figures in theater from the late-nineteenth century to the present day. Mixed-Asian playwrights harness theater’s generative power to enact performances of “double liminality” and expose the absurd tenacity with which society clings to a tenuous racial scaffolding.
