エイミー・タンの活躍は言うまでもなく、日系、朝鮮/韓国系、中国系、フィリピン系、ヴェトナム系などアジア系アメリカ人による文学は、現在アフリカ系アメリカ文学、アメリカ・ラティーノ文学とならび、現在最も活発に作品が発表され、それらに対する批評、研究も盛んになっているエスニック文学といえます。多様なアジア人の歴史や文化的背景とアメリカ社会での生活や個人体験を通じ成立したこれらの文学は、文学研究だけでなく、多文化主義、ポストコロニアリズム、コミュニティーと家族、移民、人種問題、ジェンダー、セクシャリティーなど文化研究の様々な視点からも研究対象となってきています。学術出版界においても1998年にJournal of Asian American Studies が創刊され、その前後からアメリカの大学出版局による研究書出版が飛躍的に増加、Companion to Asian American Literature (Cambridge UP, 1997), A Resource Guide to Asian American Literature (Modern Language Association of America, 2001), The Columbia Guide to Asian American Literature Since 1945 (Columbia UP, 2006) など主要なレファレンスも続々と刊行され始めています。同時に、ヨーロッパ、アジア諸国でも研究、出版は広がりを見せ、日本おいてはアジア系アメリカ文学研究会を中心とした活動や文学作品の邦訳などが広く知られています。
Imagining the nation : Asian American literature and cultural consent (Stanford UP, 1998)の著者として知られるDavid Leiwei Liの編集による本コレクションは、アジア系アメリカ文学研究の系譜を、初期のものから最新の潮流までをカバーし、アメリカだけでなく、世界各地で英文で発表された雑誌、評論集等々から論文を幅広く選択、以下のとおり各論文の対象としているテーマ別に４巻に収録しています。

>From the editor:
In the wake of civil rights movements and student protests, ‘Asian America(n) ’ appears in the 1960s United States as a neologism of political and cultural representation. It makes possible the explicit discursive formation of a hit herto disparate and amorphous ethnic population and its epistemological constitution as worthy subjects of academic study. The categorical emergence of ‘Asian America(n)’ gives rise to the institutional investigation of its literary production-from 19thc immigrant diaries and epistles, news stories and detention center poems to 20th c novels, verse, and memoirs-that has by now become a quintessential component of American literature and the discipline of English.
Although the history of Asian American literary criticism is relatively short,its explosive output in the past four decades exemplifies the phenomenal time/space compression characteristic of globalization. Because it originates at the juncture of Asian decolonization and American deindustrialization and develops at the decline of the ‘American Century’ and the ascent of a ‘Pacific Century,’ Asian American criticism is central to the contemporary academic re-articulation of national cultures, world civilizations, and transnational imaginaries. Asian American criticism traverses the received categories of ‘Asia(n)’ and ‘American(n)’ and troubles the historical conceptualization of the East and the West. In doing so, not only does it partake the ‘cultural wars,’ ‘canon debates,’ and controversy over culture-specific ‘capitalism(s) and modernities’ in the era of globalization, it also contributes significantly
to the restructuring of humanistic knowledge through new modes of academic inquiry (ethnic, diasporic, and Pacific Rim studies, to name just the obvious areas of cross-disciplinary interest). Given the unprecedented integration of the world’s economic and cultural production and consumption today, Asian American literature is widely taught and studied in Asia, Europe, as well as in North America. Besides the mushrooming of monographs of Asian American literary criticism at US presses, Europe and Asia are producing their own in systematic fashion: LIT Verlag of Germany has a series Contributions to Asian American Literary Studies (the most recent is Volume 4) and Academia Sinica of Taiwan publishes consistently Asian American literary scholarship in Chinese. The exponential growth in Asian American literary criticism is comparable only to its global demand. But the drastic dispersal of critical material presents a daunting challenge for interested readers.
An interethnic Companion to Asian American Literature (Cambridge UP, 1997), A Resource Guide to Asian American Literature (Modern Language Association of America, 2001), The Columbia Guide to Asian American Literature Since 1945 (Columbia UP, 2006) are editorial attempts to satisfy the worldwide pedagogical and scholarly needs in Asian American literature. Due to the nature of their des gns (primarily as assemblage of survey essays and encyclopedic entries) and space limitations (as single volume handbook around 300pp), however, they are not able to meet the demand for a comprehensive mapping of the critical terrain and its accessibility in the form of a mini-series. I conceive 'Asian American Literary' as a four-volume set (at the approximate length of 400pp each) that makes available to students and scholars of Asian American literature in specific, of multiethnic and multicultural literature, and of American literaturein general, the most authoritative and substantive critical collection to date. Asian American Literary Criticism shall be an indispensable resource for co
llege and university libraries and a potential source of college course material in Asia, North America, and Europe. --- David Leiwei Li, University ofOregon, USA
