Asian American literature reflects the Asian experience in the United States right from the beginning of Chinese immigration in the mid-nineteenth century to the present. This anthology in three volumes tries to break new ground by emphasizing upon the Asian American experience in all possible genres - interviews, creative writing, criticism, mass media. Writers of Indian diaspora Bharati Mukherjee, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Meena Alexander and Jhumpa Lahiri are widely discussed.
