Session 11 - Asian Pacific American Literature

This week we'll be reading and discussion Project Mulberry. The accompanying articles are:

• Siu-Runyan (2002): This article focuses on "Books that teach about the Asian and Pacific Island peoples of Hawaii". What does it add to your understanding of that population? Of the purposes and need for multicultural literature in general?
• Yamate (1997): As of 1997, what was the state of publishing for Asian American texts? What type of research might you do to explore whether anything has changed over the last 10 years? What themes might you find in Asian Pacific American literature?

This week Group B is writing Questioning the Text papers for Project Mulberry.
