Through a comparative analysis of David Henry Hwang's \u003ci\u003eM. Butterfly\u003c\/i\u003e, Lois-Ann Yamanaka's \u003ci\u003eBlu's Hanging\u003c\/i\u003e, and Jessica Hagedorn's \u003ci\u003eDogeaters\u003c\/i\u003e, this study considers the ways in which bodies challenge the categories asserted in nation-building. The book proposes that underwritten by the vast histories of American imperial migrations, there are texts and bodies which challenge and reconstitute the ever-vexed definition of American. In re-membering such bodies, Maria C. Zamora proclaims our bodies as actual living texts, texts that are constantly bearing, contesting, and transforming meaning. \u003ci\u003eNation, Race \u0026amp; History in Asian American Literature\u003c\/i\u003e will engage scholars interested in cultural and critical theory, citizenship and national identity, race and ethnicity, the body, gender studies, and transnational literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshinobu Hakutani,Maria C.
