How gender shapes cultural production in Viet Nam and its diaspora

Trade Review
"[The book] makes a considerable and commendable contribution to the interdisciplinary fields of Asian-American literary studies, Southeast Asian-American studies, and American cultural studies... Treacherous Subjects confirms and extends the field's multidisciplinary vistas by way of Vietnamese and Vietnamese-American cultural production, which include film, literature, and popular culture... [It] skillfully juxtaposes the divergent critical receptions of such work vis-a-vis domestic and internationalist politics." - College Literature
