Dr.
Wen Jin will provide an analysis of
Chinese/American poet-scholars Alex Kuo and Aku
Wuwu, with a focus on their poetry, fiction, and
critical writings that bring together Native
American culture and the cultures of ethnic
minorities in contemporary China. Dr. Jin shows
the broader implications of the two authors by
discussing the ways in which ideas of
“ethnicity” and “indigineity” function in
Chinese and American contexts and sketching a
short history of Chinese-Native American contact
in recent decades.
