Bücher von Gary Y. Okihiro

Gary Y. Okihiro presents the intellectual history of the core ideas, concepts, methods, and theories of Third World studies-an academic field first proposed in 1968 that never existed-in order to provide tools for understanding power and ending oppression.

Uses the experiences of Asian Americans to reconfigure the ways in which American history can be understood. This book examines a set of binaries - East and West, black and white, man and woman - that have structured the telling of our nation's history and shaped our ideas of citizenship since the late nineteenth century.
