Focusing on urban settings, Xiaojing Zhou offers a fresh perspective on Asian American literature, highlighting how various writers portray American cities beyond the typical narratives of segregation. By examining the experiences of Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese American authors, she reveals a diverse tapestry of urban life that challenges conventional views. Zhou's comprehensive analysis not only addresses the often-overlooked aspects of city life but also reimagines the American city as a space for connection rather than division.
