Excellent- More about The Ghosts Within - Literary Imaginations of Asian America
Janna Odabas interprets ghosts in Asian American literature as self-reflexive figures that challenge the notion of Asian America as heterogeneous and transnational, resisting interpretation through a morally or politically preconceived approach.

The ghost, as a literary figure, has been interpreted in various ways, encompassing spiritual, psychoanalytical, sociological, and allegorical perspectives. Janna Odabas, in her understanding of ghosts in Asian American literature, sees them as self-reflexive figures. Central to Odabas' approach is the notion of identity politics, which she emphasizes as the core of the ghost concept. By highlighting the critical renegotiation of Asian America as heterogeneous and transnational, Odabas emphasizes how ghosts challenge the prevailing interpretation of Asian American literature through a morally or politically preconceived lens. In response to the complexities within the scholarly field, Odabas argues that the literary works under scrutiny actively play with and redefine conceptions of ghosts as mere exotic, ethnic ornamentation.
