Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1957 Description An account of the resource This "Old Piedmont Negro dialect" poem was written by a white male student masquerading as a black storyteller. Its title refers to the fictional central character, Nias, an enslaved black man who is characterized as an unintelligent, unhygenic, yet hard-working giant. The writer uses racial slurs to describe him as well. Nias notably attracts many black women wherever he goes, who fight over being able to sleep with him due to his size. He later performs manual labor for the Confederate Army, ultimately dying to save a white man's life.

Description An account of the resource The author of this poem claims that she is "an Asian who wants to be white" and begins the poem with the choice, "I want to be more American." When asked what's stopping her, though, she responds, "That's not who I am." The root of her desire to be "more American" and "white" is her shame toward being marginalized as Asian. She states that identity is "fluid, messy, and stained with trauma and pain." She finally decides that her American dream is to build her own.

The poem mentions many facets of Chinese culture and, as Dinwiddie recognizes, asserts that culture is timeless and valuable even as Chinese people immigrate to other lands. Dinwiddie calls Lindsay's portrayal "whimsical" and contrasts it with his "terrified" poem "The Congo." She also claims that the poem has "the slant angle of vision peculiar to the Eastern eye" and hints to a perceived mystery surrounding Asian cultures.
