This series is a groundbreaking work not just for the Asian American literary field, but for literature on the whole. As the first series of books about Asian American literature in China, it will undoubtedly inspire an unprecedented scholarly movement and bring greater and deserved awareness to issues including—but by no means limited to—gender, sexuality, and race as depicted through the lens and narratives of Asians and Asian Americans,perspectives too little seen and heard until now.
—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University
Chinese American literature, for the past hundred years or so, has always straddled at least two cultures: the American and the Chinese. This ambitious and impressive series edited by Prof. Yingjian Guo brings the complex world of Chinese American writers to a broader Chineselanguage readership. Such scholarship will help broaden,for Chinese scholars and students, the horizons of literary discourse and the range of appreciation for the Chinese American experience. Asian American literature,when read in a comparative light, reveals aspects of an American and Chinese American cultural terrain which spans politics, law, culture, and more. This collection will be useful for those in China, the Chinese diaspora,as well as the Americas to understand the rich linguistic,generational, political, and gendered diversity within Chinese American literature.

美国亚裔文学研究的第一本专书1982年于美国出版,中文世界有关美国华裔文学的学术研究也始于1980年代,在接近“不惑之年”之际,实有必要盘点以往的研究成果,了解当前的学科生态,并策划未来的研究发展。郭英剑教授担任总主编的“美国亚裔文学研究丛书”,经过审慎规划,是中文世界有关此领域的第一套具规模、有系统的出版品,内容涵盖文学作品、文学评论、学术专书、文学史与访谈录等,多方位、具深度地提供有关美国亚裔文学与研究的代表作品,值得高度肯定。
