Contents Introduction: Asian American players -- Playing the Korean War: domestic containment and the bluff of melancholic Asian American masculinity -- Playing the Vietnam War: remasculinization and the rhetoric of polarity -- Playing the odds of the virtual Gulf War: world police and family man -- Playing the endless war: the simulacra of illegitimacy after 9/11 -- Conclusion: The anxieties of postmodern wars.
Abstract "Examines gendered and racialized US militarism through works written during major postmodern American wars, investigating how books by John Okada, David Henry Hwang, Chang-rae Lee, Frances Khirallah Noble, and Viet Thanh Nguyen (re)fashion Asian American masculinity in ways that ultimately mimic masculinist American foreign policy and military strategies"-- Provided by publisher.
