Book excerpt: Anger and bitterness tend to pervade narratives by second generation Asian American daughters, despite their largely unremarkable upbringings. The author explores this apparent paradox, locating in the origins of these women's immaterial suffering not only racial hegemonies but also the structure of the immigrant family itself. She argues that the filial debt of these women both demands and defies repayment--all the better to produce the docile subjects of a model minority. Through readings of Jade Snow Wong's Fifth Chinese Daughter, Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, Evelyn Lau's Runaway : Diary of a Street Kid, Catherine Liu's Oriental Girls Desire Romance, and other texts, she offers an explication of the subjection and psyche of the Asian American daughter. She connects common literary tropes to their theoretical underpinnings in power, profit, and subjection.
