Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay introduces Amerasia Journal’s special issue on “Creativity and Critique in Asian American Literature.” Drawing upon multi-genre and multimodal contributions to this issue, we theorize different ways of joining creative and critical modes, offering five suppositions as to what this articulation enables for Asian American representation; autobiography and art; embodiment and living archives; generic, epistemological, and structural boundaries; as well as collaborative care and stewardship of Asian American literary and creative arts. In conversation with the contributors, we reflect on creative-critical convergences and how they transform the broader social and ethical ecosystem of Asian American literature.
