Abstract:What is produced by the invisibility of Asian American lesbian feminism? This article centers the work of contemporary Asian American lesbian feminist writer Merle Woo to ask: What is disciplined and normalized when "Asian" and "American" and "lesbian" and "feminist" cannot be held and thought as mutually embodied knowledges and practices? How does an insistent isolation of Asian racial discourse from relevant studies of gender, sexuality, imperialism, militarism, and other analytics of power in fact serve a white capitalist, colonial racial order? The article engages the writing of women of color feminist thinkers including Dana Takagi and Sara Ahmed to consider the ephemeral presence of Asian American lesbian feminist forms in Woo's poetry, journalism, and her epistolary essay "Letter to Ma" in the pivotal anthology This Bridge Called My Back. By citing women of color feminist work, including that of Asian American lesbian feminists, the page becomes a stage for fleeting collectivity.
期刊介绍:
For over thirty years, diacritics has been an exceptional and influential forum for scholars writing on the problems of literary criticism. Each issue features articles in which contributors compare and analyze books on particular theoretical works and develop their own positions on the theses, methods, and theoretical implications of those works.
