Book Synopsis
The definition of Asian American dance is as contested as the definition of “Asian American”. Artists and scholars who are making, defining, questioning, and theorizing Asian American dance show in these original essays that the term encompasses not only a range of national origins but also a dazzling variety of theoretical frameworks, disciplinary methods, and genres.

Trade Review
“[This] much anticipated publication . . . marks the beginning of a new era in critical dance/performance studies scholarship. . . . I recommend the book as a course companion for instructors engaged in Asian diaspora studies, themes of global citizenship, Asian labour, cultural production and consumption, or the performance of identity, race, power, sexuality, and gender.”—Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas
