Synopsis "Troubling Borders: An Anthology of art and Literature by Southeast Asian Women in the Diaspora "

Juxtaposing short stories, poetry, painting, and photographs, Troubling Borders showcases the creative work of women of Vietnamese, Cambodian, Lao, Thai, and Filipino ancestry. This thematically arranged collection interrupts borders of categorization and gender, in what preface author Shirley Geok-Lin Lim describes as a "leap over the barbed fences that have kept these women apart in these, our United States of America." The sixty-two contributors have been shaped by colonization, wars, globalization, and militarization. For some of these women on the margins of the margin, crafting and showing their work is a bold act in itself. Their provocative and accessible creations tell unique stories, provide sharp contrasts to familiar stereotypes-Southeast Asian women as exotic sex symbols, dragon ladies, prostitutes, or "bar girls"-and serve as entry points for broader discussions about questions of history, memory, and identity.
