some novels and books by Asian American writers

Here are some works by Asian American writers and critics.

related issues--comfort women

The controversy over Japanese sexual slavery system has been a heated issue since the 1980s and there have been many works about the so-called comfort women. Some write in Japanese, some write in Korean, some write in Chinese, and some write in English. These works, whether they are supportive to the surviving victims or not, have contributed to the knowledge production about comfort women. Among these works, there are some written by Asian American, or to be more exact, Korean American writers. It seems that the war memories at home have traveled across the ocean to the new homeland.
