Special Offer: Free Access to JAF Article on Asian American Folklore Studies

In recognition of the Association for Asian American Studies Annual Conference April 17–19, the University of Illinois Press and the American Folklore Society are featuring free access for three months to an article from JAF: A Global Quarterly, the Journal of American Folklore (Winter 2023).

During the first 60 years of JAF, there was no publication by an Asian American folklorist in today’s sense. So, where were and are Asian American folklorists? How do we understand the invisibility, untellability, and absence of Asian American folklorists in American folklore studies?

“Where Were/Are Asian American Folklorists?” by Juwen Zhang addresses these questions by revisiting some publications in the first decade of JAF and engaging with some current discourse on folkloristic reconstruction.

Read for free until June 30.
