《空间视阈下的美国少数族裔文学研究》将空间理论与种族、性别与身份、文化杂糅和传统文化重建等因素融合起来，从一种不同于传统的历史时间叙述视角对作品进行分析，解读文学与民族国家空间，以及文学与政治权力空间所构成的错综复杂的内在联系。本书探究空间生产背后所隐藏的政治权力、意识形态、身体规训等文化关系，以及它对人类行为方式和生存方式所产生的直接而重大的影响。
《空间视阈下的美国少数族裔文学研究》主要着眼于对美国非裔文学和美国本土裔文学的研究。本书以米歇尔·福柯、亨利·列斐伏尔提出的空间生产理论和霍米·巴巴的后殖民杂糅理论和第三空间理论作为理论依据，分别选取著名美国非裔作家兰斯顿·休斯的小说《并非不无欢笑》和美国本土裔女作家莱斯利·马蒙·西尔科的代表作《典仪》作为分析文本。
