| Summary: | This introduction to Asian American theater charts ten of the most pivotal moments in the history of the Asian diaspora in the United States and how those moments have been reflected in theatre. Designed for weekly use on Asian American theater 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. |
