Asian American Plays for a New Generation showcases seven exciting new plays that dramatize timely themes that are familiar to Asian Americans. The works variously address immigration, racism, stereotyping, identity, generational tensions, assimilation, and upward mobility as well as post-9/11 paranoia, racial isolation, and adoptee experiences. Each of these works engages directly and actively with Asian American themes through performance to provide an important starting point for building relationships, raising political awareness, and creating active communities that can foster a sense of connection or even rally individuals to collective action. 000438101 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438101 650_0 $$aAmerican drama$$xAsian American authors. 000438101 650_0 $$aAmerican drama$$y20th century. 000438101 650_0 $$aAmerican drama$$y21st century. 000438101 650_0 $$aAsian Americans$$vDrama. 000438101 7001_ $$aLee, Josephine. 000438101 7001_ $$aEitel, Don,$$d1975- 000438101 7001_ $$aShiomi, R.
