The course will explore how local/global gender and race politics inform their writings–and their reception–and the ways these formulations (which have crossed back and forth across the Pacific from the earliest Japanese immigration to the U.S. through international exchanges to this day) continue to fashion the writings of these women writers. (Japanese in Translation)
