Edited by Sunaina Maira and Rajini Srikanth

This anthology critically explores the family tension about and the concept of “home.” With a foreward by noted physician and author Abraham Verghese, this anthology challenges images of South Asians in North America, portraying instead the subtleties of their varied, sometimes invisible, experiences. It includes fiction, poetry, essays and photography. Second printing.



Edited by Luis H. Francia and Eric Gamalinda

Here for the first time are Filipinos and Filipino Americans writers telling their lives in their own words. Here are stories of passion and betrayal, home and exile, the politics of the self and a nation in search of itself. Together, these works provide a deeper image of the Philippines and ultimately, a vivid perspective of America as well. Third printing.



Edited by Juliana Chang

Beginning with writings from the 1890s with such poets as Sadakichi Hartmann and Yone Noguchi, the book also includes the early work of such well-known writers as Joy Kogawa, Jessica Hagadorn and Lawson Fusao Inada. This is an important source book. Second printing.
