變: Transformation and the Becoming-Self in Gene Luen Yang's American Born Chinese

Panel: 
Asian American Literature I
Abstract: 

The neg(oci)ations necessary for belonging are the central preoccupation of Gene Luen Yang's graphic novel, American Born Chinese, in which I propose that a crucial reconfiguration occurs – not of self, or of national and cultural spaces, but of the myth and methodology of belonging.
