    About

    Box 68 is so named for the year in which the term "Asian American" was coined, the activist movements it came out of, and the boxes of materials one requests from archival collections.

    Its first iteration, as a newsletter and archive of interviews with scholars, preservationists, and writers, Box 68 will be delivered as special editions of the Asian American Literary Archive newsletter. We aim to publish interviews with mid-career to established Asian American writers and emerging to established academics and preservationists working with Asian American literature.
