A contrastive overlook at Asian literature in the Americas: two examples.

This paper will critically explore and compare East Asian perspectives and adaptation modes in the Americas as well as self-perception within the realm of "the Other" through two novels: Yawara! A Travessia Nihondin-Brasil (Yawara! The Nihondin-Brazil Journey 2006) by Júlio Miyazawa, a Nipo-Brazilian (Nisei), and Yellow on the Outside, Shame on the Inside: Asian Culture Revealed by the Sino-American Anson Chi (Web published).
