About this product
Product Information
Addresses this central question: if race has been settled as a legal or social construction and not as biological fact, why do Asian American artists, authors, and performers continue to scrutinize their body parts?

"Lee convincingly shows that Asian Americanist critique in science and technology studies and analytic that takes seriously the biological in critical race and ethnic studies is not far-fetched."- Catalyst, "Lee's propositional and performative writing style will prod readers in (Asian) American studies, performative studies, and critical race theory to reexamine their scholarly assumptions..."- Theatre Journal, Rachel Lees stunning new book explores contemporary Asian American performance, comedy, written word, and a body exhibit that concern racialized, gendered, militarized body parts. Drawing upon Science and Technology Studies and Asian American Studies, with the aid of transnational femiqueer, critical race, and disability studies, Lee eviscerates what we thought we knew about biopolitics and biosociality., "As associate director of the Center for the Study of Women and a faculty affiliate of the Institute for Society and Genetics at UCLA, Lee has read widely in the areas of science and technical studies, 'femqueer' studies, and critical race and disability studies. Here she loosely and 'openly' applies these to the question of whether racial identity for Asian Americans is economically and socially or biologically determined. Though highly specialized, yet multidisciplinary, the study is provocative and evocative, raising such issues and questions as why Asian American artists (in fiction, theater, poetry, and comedy) are so preoccupied with fragments of the 'self'-i.e., biological fragments, body parts-especially if the roots of biological identity focused on markers of skin have been largely overshadowed by political and economic identifiers of race."- Choice, "Rachel Lee's stunning new book explores contemporary Asian American performance, comedy, written word, and a body exhibit that concern racialized, gendered, militarized body parts. Drawing upon Science and Technology Studies and Asian American Studies, with the aid of transnational femiqueer, critical race, and disability studies, Lee eviscerates what we thought we knew about biopolitics and biosociality."-Charis Thompson,author of Good Science: The Ethical Choreography of Stem Cell Research, "[T]he study is provocative and evocative, raising such issues and questions as why Asian American artists (in fiction, theater, poetry, and comedy) are so preoccupied with fragments of 'self.'"- Choice, Ambitious, original, and immensely generative,The Exquisite Corpse of Asian America challenges us to move outside the paradigms of the racialized body weve relied on in Asian American studies.Lee pushes our thinking in productive new ways to consider more broadly how critical race studies might incorporate new concepts and technologies related to the biological body., [T]he study is provocative and evocative, raising such issues and questions as why Asian American artists (in fiction, theater, poetry, and comedy) are so preoccupied with fragments of 'self.', Lee convincingly shows that Asian Americanist critique in science and technology studies and analytic that takes seriously the biological in critical race and ethnic studies is not far-fetched., "[Lee's] readings are rich. She shows how artists use kinesthetic tactility, movement, and humor to revel in bodily excesses, to reveal how gag reflexes challenge the false divide between the psychic and somatic, and to index on their bodies the oppression and resistance of being biopolitically contained and regulated."- American Literature, "Ambitious, original, and immensely generative, The Exquisite Corpse of Asian America challenges us to move outside the paradigms of the racialized body we've relied on in Asian American studies. Lee pushes our thinking in productive new ways to consider more broadly how critical race studies might incorporate new concepts and technologies related to the biological body."-Josephine Lee,author of Performing Asian America: Race and Ethnicity on the Contemporary Stage, Lees propositional and performative writing style will prod readers in (Asian) American studies, performative studies, and critical race theory to reexamine their scholarly assumptions...
