Hey y'all.

After reading Don Lee's Wrack and Ruin, I have decided to make a quick inventory of Asian American literature that deals (at least a little) with agricultural labor--whether it is migrant farm labor, small farm work, or agribusiness. If you have suggestions, please let me know. I want to reference them in my paper on Ruth Ozeki's All Over Creation about environmental issues.

Off the top of my head, I can just think of Carlos Bulosan's America Is in the Heart, David Mas Masumoto's books, Allen Say's picture book Music for Alice, stories by Hisaye Yamamoto, and Milton Murayama's All I Asking for Is My Body. I'm sure there are others....

well what about Ruth Ozeki's first novel?

what about Shawna Yang Ryan's Locke whatever it is... that indie book?

I just bought it; I'll let you know if it fits....
