In the Cold War era, Chinese Americans were caught in a double-bind. The widespread stigma of illegal immigration, as it was often called, was most easily countered with the model minority, assimilating and forming nuclear families, but that in turn led to further stereotypes. In Illegal Immigrants/Model Minorities, Heidi Kim investigates how Chinese American writers navigated a strategy to normalize and justify the Chinese presence during a time when fears of Communism ran high.Kim explores how writers like Maxine Hong Kingston, Jade Snow Wong, and C. Y. Lee, among others, addressed issues of history, family, blood purity, and law through then-groundbreaking novels and memoirs. Illegal Immigrants/Model Minorities also uses legal cases, immigration documents, and law as well as mass media coverage to illustrate how writers constructed stories in relation to the political structures that allowed or disallowed their presence, their citizenship, and their blended identity. Kim illuminates the rapidly shifting political and social pressures on Chinese American authors who selectively concealed, revealed, and reconstructed issues of citizenship, belonging, and inclusion in their writing.

This is the remarkable story of the American First World War serviceman Arthur Clifford Kimber. When his country entered the Great War in 1917, Kimber left Stanford University to carry the first official American flag to the Western Front. Fired by idealism for the French cause, the young student initially acted as a volunteer ambulance driver, before training as a pilot and taking part in dogfights against ‘the Boche’.His letters home give a vivid picture of what Kimber witnessed on his journey from Palo Alto, California to the front in France: keen-eyed descriptions of New York as it prepared for the forthcoming conflict, the privations of wartime Britain and France, and encounters with former president Theodore Roosevelt and Hollywood actress Lillian Gish. Kimber details his exhilaration, his everyday concerns and his horror as he adapts to an active wartime role.Arthur Clifford Kimber was one of the first Americans on the front line after the entry of the US into the war and, tragically, also one of the last to be buried there – killed in action just a few weeks before the end of the war. Here, his frank letters to his mother and brothers, compiled, edited and put in context by Patrick Gregory and Elizabeth Nurser, are published for the first time.

Die Zeit von 1583 bis 1622 ist fër Heidelberg eine Periode des Streites, besonders zwischen Reformierten und Lutheranern. Neben der Abendmahlslehre steht die Prädestinationslehre im Zentrum der Auseinandersetzungen. Die reformierten Heidelberger Theologen sahen diese Lehre nicht als spekulatives Modethema an, sondern als die Grundlage fër Trost und Gewissheit, so wie es sich auch in den Dordrechter Canones findet. Nam Kyu Lee behandelt vier, ausgewählte Heidelberger Theologen; Georg Sohn (1551-1589), Herman Rennecherus (geb. 1550), Jakob Kimedoncius (1554-1596), Daniel Tossanus (1541-1602). Die Lehre Georg Sohns hat dogmengeschichtlich eine besondere Bedeutung. Untersucht sind seine seelsorgerliche Motivation, seine Lehre und deren Struktur, sowie die Spuren Melanchthons, die sich in seinen Ansichten wieder finden. Herman Rennecherus betont durch seine Goldene Kette des Heils die seelsorgerliche Bedeutung der Prädestinationslehre. Hierbei ist auch darauf hinzuweisen, dass seine goldene Kette dem Werk Golden Chain von William Perkins vergleichbar ist und anhand dessen der Unterschied in der Entwicklung der Heilsordnung zwischen Großbritannien und dem europäischen Festland deutlich wird.Jacob Kimedoncius geriet mit Samuel Huber, der schon einige Bëcher gegen die Heidelberger Theologen geschrieben hatte, in heftigen Streit darëber, fër wen Christus gestorben sei. Daniel Tossanus behandelt nicht nur die Behauptungen der Scholastiker und der Lutheraner, sondern auch die Verschiedenheit zwischen Melanchthon und Genf und ferner zwischen verschiedenen Heidelberger Theologen. Er vergleicht den so genannten Supralapsarismus mit dem Infralapsarismus und stellt sich selbst dabei als Supralapsarianer heraus.

In Beautiful and Useless, Kim Min Jeong exposes the often funny and contradictory rifts that appear in the language of everyday circumstance. She uses slang, puns, cultural referents, and ‘naughty, unwomanly” language in order to challenge readers to expand their ideas of not only what a poem is, but also how women should speak. In this way Kim undermines patriarchal authority by displaying the absurd nature of gender expectations. But even larger than issues of gender, these poems reveal the illogical systems of power behind the apparent structures that govern the logic of everyday life. By making the source of these antagonisms and gender transgressions visible, they make them less powerful. This skillful translation from Soeun Seo and Jake Levine, brings the full playfulness and intelligence of Kim’s lyricism to English-language readers.

Based on over thirty years of conversations and interactions with Americans and Asians, Korean American Eun Kim presents American virtues and vices from an Asian perspective, using the ancient Asian concepts of yin and yang, which coexist in everything and complete each other to maintain cosmic harmony. In this way, Kim draws us to look at the yang (light) mirror of American vices and the yin (dark) mirror or American virtues. Examples of the virtues she discusses are generosity, competitive spirit, openness, and volunteerism. Some of the vices she explores are insistence on rights, refusal to grow up, arrogance, and tolerance of violence. In her fifty entries, the author describes and illustrates an American value and provides an Asian perspective on it as well as what she believes to be the dangers and opportunities inherent to each value. She uses personal experience, anecdotes and quotes from Asians and Americans both famous and unknown, historical background, general wisdom, and proverbs to enrich her writing. Eun Kim straddles two cultures, her Asian homeland and her adopted country, the United States. This is a highly personal and readable book, with insights that may make the American reader squirm uncomfortably in one paragraph and glow with pride in the next.

Winner, 2020 Peter C Rollins Prize, given by the Northeast Popular & American Culture Association Enables a reckoning with the legacy of the Forgotten War through literary and cinematic works of cultural memory Though often considered “the forgotten war,” lost between the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War, the Korean War was, as Daniel Y. Kim argues, a watershed event that fundamentally reshaped both domestic conceptions of race and the interracial dimensions of the global empire that the United States would go on to establish. He uncovers a trail of cultural artefacts that speaks to the trauma experienced by civilians during the conflict but also evokes an expansive web of complicity in the suffering that they endured. Taking up a range of American popular media from the 1950s, Kim offers a portrait of the Korean War as it looked to Americans while they were experiencing it in real time. Kim expands this archive to read a robust host of fiction from US writers like Susan Choi, Rolando Hinojosa, Toni Morrison, and Chang-rae Lee, and the Korean author Hwang Sok-yong. The multiple and ongoing historical trajectories presented in these works testify to the resurgent afterlife of this event in US cultural memory, and of its lasting impact on multiple racialized populations, both within the US and in Korea. The Intimacies of Conflict offers a robust, multifaceted, and multidisciplinary analysis of the pivotal—but often unacknowledged—consequences of the Korean War in both domestic and transnational histories of race.

There is a tendency to think of Korean American literature—and Asian American literature writ large—as a field of study involving only two spaces, the United States and Korea, with the same being true in Asian studies of Korean Japanese (Zainichi) literature involving only Japan and Korea. This book posits that both fields have to account for three spaces: Korean American literature has to grapple with the legacy of Japanese imperialism in the United States, and Zainichi literature must account for American interventions in Japan. Comparing Korean American authors such as Younghill Kang, Chang-rae Lee, Ronyoung Kim, and Min Jin Lee with Zainichi authors such as Kaneshiro Kazuki, Yi Yang-ji, and Kim Masumi, Minor Transpacific uncovers their hidden dialogue and imperial concordances, revealing the trajectory and impact of both bodies of work. Minor Transpacific bridges the fields of Asian studies and Asian American studies to unveil new connections between Zainichi and Korean American literatures. Working in Japanese and English, David S. Roh builds a theoretical framework for articulating those moments of contact between minority literatures in a third national space and proposes a new way of conceptualizing Asian American literature.

In 2009, Julia Moskin and Kim Severson, who were both staff reporters for the "New York Times" Dining section, faced off in a dinner duel mediated by Frank Bruni, the paper's legendary restaurant critic. Armed with only $50.00, they each prepared a meal for six, a culinary battle non pareil that was prominently featured in the paper and quickly became one of that month's most emailed stories. Building on that success, Moskin and Severson extended their duel into a year-long kitchen war. "Cookfight" captures the delicious results of that brinksmanship as each chapter chronicles Moskin and Severson confronting a new challenge, from the budget challenge reported in the Times to a Farmers Market Challenge challenge to a Dinner Party challenge. In each chapter, the authors offer funny, side-by-side narratives and tantalizing, inventive recipes such as Julia's Mozzarella, Red Grape, and Black Olive Salad and Kim's Ginger and Cereal Milk Panna Cotta. "CookFight" features an engaging dual design and full-color photos that capture the energy and joie de vivre of Moskin's and Severson's home kitchens. Working mothers with spouses, children, and aging parents to worry about, Moskin and Severson cook for the real world - and "Cookfight" is a celebration of fun and friendship in the kitchen, even on the hardest days. With color photography throughout, useful sidebars and cooking tips, and Kim and Julia's sense of humor as they battle it out, "Cookfight" will entertain the seasoned cook, inspire the kitchen novice, and delight all who appreciate good cooking and great eating.
