{"product_id":"the-ghosts-within-janna-odabas-9783837644494","title":"The Ghosts Within: Literary Imaginations of Asian America","description":"The ghost as a literary figure has been interpreted in a variety of ways: spiritually, psychoanalytically, sociologically, or allegorically. Following these approaches, Janna Odabas understands ghosts in Asian American literature as self-reflexive figures. With identity politics at the core of the ghost concept, Odabas emphasizes how ghosts critically renegotiate the notion of Asian America as heterogeneous and transnational and resist interpretation through a morally or politically preconceived approach to Asian American literature. Responding to the tensions of the scholarly field, Odabas argues that the literary works under scrutiny openly play with and rethink conceptions of ghosts as mere exotic, ethnic ornamentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janna Odabas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837644499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837644494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Janna Odabas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940864753919,"sku":"9783837644494","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f98af8da-2fa7-4120-a946-5a8b3585d2c3.jpg?v=1681449606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ghosts-within-janna-odabas-9783837644494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
