Book Description
Asian American resistance to Orientalism -- the Western tradition dealing with the subject and subjugation of the East -- is usually assumed. And yet, as this provocative work demonstrates, in order to refute racist stereotypes they must first be evoked, and in the process the two often become entangled. Sheng-mei Ma shows how the distinguished careers of post-1960s Asian American writers such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Frank Chin, and David Henry Hwang reveal that while Asian American identity is constructed in reaction to Orientalism, the two cultural forces are not necessarily at odds. The vigor with which these Asian Americans revolt against Orientalism in fact tacitly acknowledges the family lineage of the two.

A blow to the head dramatically enhances his ‘gift’ in the form of visions so strong that when he is drawn into those visions, he does not continue to experience the reality around him. His ‘gift’ allows him to witness the actual scene of a death. A serial killer with a thirst for young, innocent women has cruelly murdered several of them. While the police believe the killer committed suicide, families of the victims aren’t convinced and reach out to a Private Investigator who pays Robert to visit and experience their deceased daughters and wife’s deaths to help them identify the real killer. Robert creates death journals that lay out each horrific act and each vision seems to grow stronger. His visions and journals completely debunk the Police’s closed case convincing them to reopen the case. The News Services expose Roberts mission which puts Robert in the spotlight and puts a target on his back, since the serial killer has no plans of stopping any time soon. The female private investigator becomes involved with Robert and begins joining him at each scene to protect him during each vision. An unorthodox philanthropist named Alberto Black is forming a team of experts who can investigate difficult crimes and solve them. He has learned of Roberts skills and offers a place on his team to Robert, if Robert can survive this serial killer’s wrath.
