  \n Room 100A \n Jackman Humanities Building \n 170 St. George Street, To
 ronto. \n\nSpeakers \nDavid S. Roh (author) Professor of English, Univers
 ity of Utah Chair: Janet Poole Chair and Associate Professor of East Asian
  Studies, University of Toronto \n\nDescription: \nThere is a tendency to
  think of Korean American literature—and Asian American literature writ la
 rge—as a field of study involving only two spaces, the United States and 
 Korea, with the same being true in Asian studies of Korean Japanese (Zain
 ichi) literature involving only Japan and Korea. This book posits that bot
 h fields have to account for three spaces: Korean American literature has 
 to grapple with the legacy of Japanese imperialism in the United States, 
 and Zainichi literature must account for American interventions in Japan. 
 Comparing Korean American authors such as Younghill Kang, Chang-rae Lee,
  Ronyoung Kim, and Min Jin Lee with Zainichi authors such as Kaneshiro Ka
 zuki, Yi Yang-ji, and Kim Masumi, Minor Transpacific uncovers their hid
 den dialogue and imperial concordances, revealing the trajectory and impa
 ct of both bodies of work. Minor Transpacific bridges the fields of Asian 
 studies and Asian American studies to unveil new connections between Zaini
 chi and Korean American literatures. Working in Japanese and English, Dav
 id S. Roh builds a theoretical framework for articulating those moments of
  contact between minority literatures in a third national space and propos
 es a new way of conceptualizing Asian American literature.David S. Roh is 
 Professor of English at the University of Utah, where he specializes in A
 sian American literature and Digital Humanities.  He is the author of Mino
