"During the past two decades, there has been a burgeoning interest in the experiences and history of women in America who trace their roots to Asia--China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, and Thailand. Making Waves is a ground-breaking collection of autobiographical writings, short stories, poetry, essays, and photographs by and about this growing body of women.
Organized thematically around issues of importance to Asian American women--immigration, war, work, generations, identity, discrimination, activism--Making Waves shows that Asian American women are not afraid to speak their minds. A bold and challenging cornucopia of fine writing by novelists, poets, historians, educators, scholars, journalists, and activists, this collection is a long overdue celebration of Asian women in America."
