Pease Dartmouth College \"A timely and groundbreaking study of Asian American literary production in the age of globalization. Through the double lenses of textual analysis and publication history, it sheds new light on what Magosaki calls 'trickster cosmopolitanism,' an interesting term she develops from 'Signifying' as defined in Afro-American literary history and applies to her study of the work of Asian American women writers. Tricksters Cosmopolitanism is a unique book that makes important contribution to Asian American literature and global and feminist studies.\" -- -Yunte Huang University of California, Santa Barbara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction                           Chapter 1   Trickster Poetics at the Turn of the Century:        Charles Chesnutt, Sui Sin Far, and Allies in the East       Coast Publishing Industry                   (1) Locating Trickster Poetics      Charles Chesnutt's The Conjure Woman and Walter Hines       Page                (2) Silence as Signifying      Sui Sin Far's Short Stories, The Independent, and William       Hayes Ward               Chapter 2 The Making of the Cosmopolitan Subject: Jessica       Hagedorn, San Francisco, and Multiculturalism in the Age       of Globalization               (1) San Francisco's Avant-Garde Literary Scene      Yardbird Publishing, Shameless Hussey Press, and Third World      Communications              (2) A Star is Born      Narrative Construction of the Cosmopolitan Subject in Jessica       Hagedorn's \"Pet Food\"             (3) The Death of the Artist      Narrative Construction of the Cosmopolitan Subject in Jessica       Hagedorn's \"Pet Food,\" Side B            (4)  Stephen Vincent, Momo's Press, and the Crafting of \"Pet Food\"                Chapter 3 L.A.-Paris-N.Y:  Karen Tei Yamashita, Monique Truong,       Min Jin Lee, and the Changing Parameters of Literary       Production at the New Turn of the Century                           (1) L.A.
