Abstract:
|
For Asians and Asian Americans living in a predominantly white area, identity becomes a difficult issue. Even though Asians and Asian Americans embody “difference” or non-whiteness in their appearance, those around them label them as “other.” Using intensive-interviews of young Asians and Asian Americans, the paper explores longing and yearning to be connected or separated from their embodied race. This paper looks at racial melancholia and the dialectical tensions involving complex elusive identity. |
