Asian/American Postethnic Subjectivity in Derek Kirk Kim’s Good as Lily, Same Difference and Other Stories, and Tune
Chapter 2 argues that Kim’s graphic narratives are a complex and ambivalent reaction to the emergence of postethnicity, the popular belief that racial and ethnic identities have become much less important to how Americans describe the nation. Kim’s writing and art—by reimagining the literary trope of rite of passage and maturation—are ironic and subtle depictions of how race and ethnicity still matter.
