- Abstract:
- This paper offers a synthesis and critique of the existing academic literature on Gene Luen Yang’s AAmerican Born Chinese and an overview of Asian American alternative comics. It examines the range of literary and linguistic sources which Yang draws upon in his collage of Chinoiserie and Japonism. It presents the argument that existing criticism has failed to take into account the rising presence of Asian and Asian American characters and creators in American comics.
