Rachel C. Lee is Associate Professor of English and Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Women at UCLA, USA. Her research focuses on Asian American literature and performance, theories of gender and sexuality, and science and technology studies. She is the author of The Exquisite Corpse of Asian America: Biopolitics, Biosociality, and Posthuman Ecologies (2014), The Americas of Asian American Literature: Gendered Fictions of Nation and Transnation (1999), and lead editor of the volume Asian America.Net: Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Cyberspace (2003).

'...student researchers will appreciate the abundant attention accorded notables such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Chang-rae Lee, Jessica Hagedorn, Jhumpa Lahiri, and others. There are helpful, individual, hyphenated-ethnic literary group assessments, including an informative study of Asian Canadian literature by Donald Goellnicht and Eleanor Ty. Mark Chiang’s “Cultural Capital,” one of the strongest essays, considers the embrace of successful authors such as Lahiri and Lee by mainstream American fiction readers and the prickly range of criticism in turn.'--T. Carolan, University of the Fraser Valley in Choice, January 2015.
