Representations of whiteness in works by Asian American authors reveal what happens when the visual dynamics of ethnography are reversed, and those persons often considered as objects are allowed to see and judge those who so often objectify them. This study focuses on the construct of whiteness in Asian American literature, with an emphasis on social power structures and identity politics.
