This bibliography was prepared originally in 1995 at the request of Dr. Sari Miller-Antonio, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Ethnic Studies for use in her classes: Contemporary Asian American Studies and Asian American Images in the Arts and Media. It continues to be updated semi-annually.

This bibliography represents primarily fiction written by Asian American writers and is divided into two parts: pre 1950 and post 1950 literature. This division reflects the history of Asian immigration patterns to the US and the growth of Asian American communities. Students in Dr. Miller-Antonio's classes are asked to choose one book from the early literature and one from the post World War II literature and prepare a critical analysis that discusses how the book illustrates the history of Asian immigration to the US or how it explores topics such as representation of Asian American women, ethnicity and identity of self, family and community.
