In \u003ci\u003eRefusing Normativity\u003c\/i\u003e Lynn Fujiwara draws on this body of work to offer a bold rethinking of Asian American feminism that interrogates the heteronormativity at the center of Asian American racial and cultural formations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing incisive case studies, Fujiwara traces how normativity operates across political and cultural life. Analyses of media responses to the 2021 Atlanta spa murders and immigrant rights advocacy demonstrate how appeals to respectability and \"deservingness\" can reproduce the very hierarchies they seek to resist. At the same time, readings of the television series \u003ci\u003eKilling Eve\u003c\/i\u003e and the novel \u003ci\u003eComfort Woman\u003c\/i\u003e illuminate how cultural production exposes--and at times refuses--the limits of normative frameworks governing sexuality, family, and belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout her analysis, Fujiwara reveals how heteronormativity is deeply entangled with white supremacy, nationalism, and neoliberal politics. These structures shape who is recognized as human, who is granted protection, and who remains vulnerable to violence and exclusion. By interrogating the politics of normativity, she offers a powerful framework for understanding race, gender, and sexuality in contemporary America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Fujiwara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295755806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295755809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Lynn Fujiwara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997569626367,"sku":"9780295755809","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refusing-normativity-lynn-fujiwara-9780295755809","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
