Abstract:"Please Wait by the Coatroom features a cross-section from Yau's four decades of work including essays about Black, Asian, Latinx, and Native American artists: sculptors Luis Jiminez and Ruth Asawa; "second generation Abstract Expressionists" such as the Black painter Ed Clark and the Japanese American painter Matsumi Kanemitsu; the performance artists James Luna and Patty Chang; the photographers Laurel Nakadate and Teju Cole; and a generation fo Asian American artists that has emerged during the last decade. While identity is at the fore in this collection, Yau's essays also propose the need for an expansive view of identity, as in the essay "On Reconsidering Identity," which explores the writings of Lydia Cabrera and Edouard Glissant, and the possibilities of creolisation vs. the reductiveness of Aime Cesaire's Negritude. Please Wait by the Coatroom is for serious readers."
