The Abjection Of James Dean: Mixed Media/Mixed Race Performances In Ai's Poem, "James Dean", Cathy Irwin Aug 2012

The Abjection Of James Dean: Mixed Media/Mixed Race Performances In Ai's Poem, "James Dean", Cathy Irwin

Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies

In the process, this paper argues that by mixing print …
