Drawing from comparable studies of the black diaspora, it traces the histories of colonialism, immigration, and exclusion shared by these three populations. The work of Asian poets in each of these three countries offers a rich terrain for understanding how Asian identities emerge at the intersection of national and transnational flows, with the poets' thematic and formal choices reflecting the varied pressures of social and cultural histories, as well as the influence of Asian writers in other national locations. \u003cem\u003eDiasporic Poetics\u003c\/em\u003e argues that racialized and nationally bounded \"Asian\" identities often emerge from transnational political solidarities, from \"Third World\" struggles against colonialism to the global influence of the American civil rights movement. Indeed, this volume shows that Asian writers disclaim national belonging as often as they claim it, placing Asian diasporic writers at a critical distance from the national spaces within which they write. As the first full-length study to compare Asian American, Asian Canadian, and Asian Australian writers, the book offers the historical and cultural contexts necessary to understand the distinctive development of Asian writing in each country, while also offering close analysis of the work of writers such as Janice Mirikitani, Fred Wah, Ouyang Yu, Myung Mi Kim, and Cathy Park Hong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimothy Yu, \u003cem\u003eMartha Meier Renk-Bascom Professor of Poetry and Professor of English and Asian American Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTimothy Yu is the Martha Meier Renk-Bascom Professor of Poetry and Professor of English and Asian American studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
