Its fourteen critical essays on games, ranging from \u003ci\u003eDeath Stranding\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eAnimal Crossing\u003c\/i\u003e, and five roundtables with twenty Asian\/American game makers examine the historical entanglements of games, Asia, and America, and reveal the ways games offer new modes of imagining imperial violence, racial difference, and coalition. Shifting away from Eurocentric, white, masculinist takes on gaming, the contributors focus on minority and queer experiences, practices, and innovative scholarly methods to better account for the imperial circulation of games. Encouraging ambiguous and contextual ways of understanding games, the editors offer an \"interactive\" editorial method, a genre-expanding approach that encourages hybrid works of autotheory, queer of color theory, and conversation among game makers and scholars to generate divergent meanings of games, play, and \"Asian America.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors.
