Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Prelude Entering Nature’s Nation -- Chapter 3: “Naturalizing” Asian Americans: Edith Eaton -- Chapter 4: Thinking (Like a) Gold Mountain: Maxine Hong Kingston and Shawn Wong -- Chapter 5: Cultivating the Anti-Campo: An Environmental Reading of “Internment Literature” -- Chapter 6: Facing the End of Nature: Karen Tei Yamashita and Ruth Ozeki -- Chapter 7: Coda: Gold Mountains, Weedflowers and Murky Globes. .

Ecocriticism and Asian American Literature: Gold Mountains, Weedflowers and Murky Globes offers an ecocritical reinterpretation of Asian American literature. The book considers more than a century of Asian American writing, from Eaton’s Mrs. Spring Fragrance (1912) to Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being (2013), through an ecocritical lens. The volume explores the most relevant landmarks in Asian American literature: the first-contact narratives written by Bulosan, Kingston, Mukherjee and Jen; the controversial texts published by Sui Sin Far (Edith Eaton) at the time of the Yellow Peril; the rise of cultural nationalism in the 1970s and 1980s, illustrated by Wong’s Homebase and Kingston’s China Men; old and recent examples of “internment literature” dealing with the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII (Sone, Houston, Miyake, Kadohata); and the new trends in Asian American literature since the 1990s, exemplified by Yamashita’s and Ozeki’s novels, which explore the challenges of our transnational, transnatural era. Begoña Simal-González’s ecocritical readings of these texts provide crucial interdisciplinary insights, addressing and analyzing important narratives within Asian American culture and literature. .
