Book Synopsis
Asian American plays from the heartland

Trade Review
"The quality of the plays in Asian American Plays for a New Generation and the diversity of the themes—interracial desire, racial profiling, and grief—is particularly impressive. The plays engage sophisticated ideas about migration and home; imposture and authenticity; political allegory; fantasy and reality; and, of course, identity politics. Lee’s Introduction and Shiomi’s Afterword serve to frame the work, providing the necessary grounding to orient the reader to the origins—and significance—of this fine volume."
—Leslie Bow, Professor of English and Asian American Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison
