New in IGCS - Online Bibliographies:
Asian American Literature for YAs [i.e. Young Adults - ed.]
Self description: "This genre includes many national, cultural and
religious heritages. Works can be subdivided into some major groups: East
Asian [Chinese, Japanese and Korean]; South Asia [India and Pakistan];
Southeast Asia [primarily Vietnamese and Pacific Islanders]; and Middle
East. Most Asian Americans are concerned about being human [Lenz]. Caught
between a fast-paced world of progress and a mysterious world of mythology
and legends, many books in this genre focus on a perpetual search for one's
self."
