Yup. There's one I'm using in my class this semester for after we read the novel. It's by Mark Chiang titled "Autonomy and Representation: Aesthetics and the Crisis of Asian American Cultural Politics in the Controversy over Blu's Hanging" in the collection of essays Literary Gestures: The Aesthetic in Asian American Writing edited by Rocío G. Davis and Sue-Im Lee. Kandice Chuh also discusses the controversiy in the introduction to her book Imagine Otherwise: On Asian Americanist Critique. And I think Amerasia Journal has an essay or two that discusses the social context of interethnic hostilities in Hawaii that are at the foundations of the controversy about the novel.
