The Author: Maria (Mia) C. Zamora is Assistant Professor of English and Coordinator of the World Literature Program at Kean University in New Jersey.

"With haunting eloquence, Maria C. Zamora argues for 'the sway of the figurative regime' over the material body that is, at once, elusive, irreducible and transformative. Reading gendered, sexualized, and raced bodies as living texts in canonical Asian American works, Zamora compellingly re-maps American national identity through these unwieldy but spectacular literary and bodily texts located at the geopolitical margins of United States empire." (Allan Punzalan Isaac, Associate Professor of American Studies and English, Rutgers University, Author of 'American Tropics: Articulating Filipino America')
