Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior

Noted Asian Americanist Sau-ling C. Wong presents a thought-provoking overview of critical issues surrounding Kingson's 'contemporary classic', such as reception by various interpretive communities, canon formation, cultural authenticity, fictionality in autobiography, and feminist and poststructuralist subjectivity. Eight critical essays are supplemented by headnotes, an interview, and an annotated bibliography.
