Cultural Curiosity: Thirteen Stories about the Search for Chinese Roots

Bestellen für 13,95 €

This anthology of autobiographical essays aims to reveal the human side of the Chinese diaspora. Written by ethnic Chinese who were born or raised outside of China, they describe the experience of growing up as a visible minority and the subsequent journey each author made to China. The authors - whose diverse backgrounds in countries such as New Zealand, Denmark, Sri Lanka, England, Indonesia, and the USA mirror the complex global scope of the Chinese diaspora - describe in particular how their journey to the country of their ancestors transformed their sense of what it means to be Chinese. The collection as a whole intends to provide an insight into what ethnic identity has come to mean in our transnational era.
