Notes

1. Earlier versions of this essay were originally delivered at the 23rd annual conference of the Society for the Study of the Multi‐Ethnic Literature of the United States (MELUS), 5 April, 2009, and at a conference of the American Studies Program at UC Berkeley, 15 May, 2009. I thank the participants in both those venues for their questions, which helped to sharpen this essay.

2. Fluck is quoting the wording of the Call for Proposals for the 2006 annual ASA meeting (Fluck 2007: 28).

3. Connery is also the editor of the important special issue of Inter‐Asia Cultural Studies on ‘The Asian Sixties’. See Inter‐Asia Cultural Studies (2006).
