Book Synopsis
Daughters of a British father and a Chinese mother, Edith and Winnifred Eaton pursued wildly different paths. This title departs boldly from the dichotomy that has informed most commentary on them: Edith's authentic representations of Chinese North Americans versus Winnifred's phony portrayals of Japanese characters and settings.

Trade Review
"These intercultural writers are interesting in themselves, but Ferens uses this discussion to make some important points about racism in the U.S. This important work should be in every academic and large public library."--Choice
"Informative and reflective, thoughtful and thought-provoking, [this volume] open[s] new possibilities for reading and writing about Asian American literature, and for (re)considering the discourse of orientalism and its role in the development of personal and literary strategies for self-expression, social critique, and survival."--Canadian Literature
