Reviews
This excellent study is not the first to deal with Eastern influences on Western literature and thinking, but it is a most timely offering--thorough in its research and clear in its presentation. Highly recommended. --Choice What we have not had in a useful and thorough form is a book like the one Hakutani has produced, a book carefully exploring the intellectual traffic between Asian and American authors on a larger scale across a significant period of history. --Aldon Lynn Nielsen, Professor of American Literature, Pennsylvania State University; author of Black Chant Languages of African American Postmodernism Professor Hakutani's East-West Literary Imagination represents a significant intervention in recent critical discussions placing American and African American literature in global, comparative, transnational, and transpacific contexts. --Anita Patterson, Professor of English, Boston University, author of Race, American Literature and Transnational Modernisms An inherently thoughtful, insightful, exceptionally well written, organized and presented work of original and seminal scholarship. --Midwest Book Review
