Designed for weekly use on Asian American theatre courses, ten chosen milestones move chronologically from the earliest contact between Japan and the West through the impact of the Vietnam War and the resurgent 'yellow peril' hysteria of Covid 19. Each chapter emphasizes common questions of how racial identities and relationships are understood in everyday life as well as represented on the theatrical stage and in popular culture. Milestones are a range of accessible textbooks, breaking down the need-to-know moments in the social, cultural, political and artistic development of foundational subject areas"--cProvided by publisher. 0aAmerican dramaxAsian American authorsxHistory and criticism. 0aAsian American theaterxHistory. 0aAmerican dramaxHistory and criticism. 0aAsian Americans in literature. 0aAsian AmericansxIntellectual life. 0aEthnicity in literature. 0aRace in literature.1 aLee, Josephine,d1960-eeditor.08iOnline version:tMilestones in Asian American theatredAbindon, Oxon ; New York : Routledge, 2022z9781003203285w(DLC) 2022009182
