List of Asian-American writers
In the fields of ethnic studies and literary scholarship, the term Asian American is a bit vague. In practice, it usually includes writers from East Asia and South Asia, but not from West Asia. At the same time, it often includes Asian Canadian writers, such as Joy Kogawa[1][2] and Michael Ondaatje.[3] Occasionally, it refers to Asian authors who have written about their experiences in the Americas. Technically, it could include hispanophone Asian authors as well.
