Urban Triage: Race And The Fictions Of Multiculturalism

Description

Challenging both the uncritical celebration of abstract multiculturalism and its simpleminded vilification, Lee roots Urban Triage in specific instances of multiracial contact and deeply informed readings of works that have been canonized within ethnic studies and of those that either remain misunderstood or were misguided from the start.

James Kyung-Jin Lee is assistant professor of English and Asian American studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
