Chinese Silence, Asian American Critique

Abstract:Timothy Yu uses as his jumping off point the imaginary cultural metaphor of Chinese 'Silences,' a trope that he mocks in his poetry book 100 Chinese Silences. Moving from this imagined idea to the reality of silencing Asian voices, Yu makes a compelling argument for the necessity of speaking up.
