War Baby / Love Child examines hybrid Asian American identity through
a collection of essays, artworks, and interviews at the intersection of
critical mixed race studies and contemporary art. The book pairs artwork
and interviews with nineteen emerging, mid-career, and established mixed
race/mixed heritage Asian American artists, including Li-lan and Kip
Fulbeck, with scholarly essays exploring such topics as Vietnamese
Amerasians, Korean transracial adoptions, and multiethnic Hawai'i. As an
increasingly ethnically ambiguous Asian American generation is coming of
age in an era of "optional identity," this collection brings together
first-person perspectives and a wider scholarly context to shed light on
changing Asian American cultures.
