Description
“This book makes a significant contribution to the latest understanding of the cultural and historical dialogues between Asia and Latin America. It brilliantly incorporates essays that highlight a current cultural history manifested through global Asian immigration to Latin America; the reception and translation of Latin American narratives in China, India, and Korea; as well as Nikkei identities and travel writing. Written by a group of international and intergenerational scholars, this volume provides original interpretations and revisions of the intersections between East and West.”
- Araceli Tinajero, The Graduate Center/The City College of New York, USA
This book brings together a group of leading and emerging scholars on the history of cultural and literary interactions between Asia and Latin America. Through a number of interlinked case studies, contributors examine how different forms of Asia-Latin America dialogues are embedded in various national and local contexts.
The volume is divided in four parts: 1) Asian hybrid identities and Latin American transnational narratives; 2) translations and reception of Latin American narratives in Asia; 3) diffracted worlds of Nikkei identities; and 4) interweaving of Asian and Latin American narratives and travel chronicles. Through the lens of modern globality and Transpacific Studies, the contributions inaugurate a perspective that has, until recently, been neglected by Asian and Latin American cultural studies, while offering an incisive theoretical discussion and detailed textual analysis.
Axel Gasquet is Professor of Latin American literature and culture at University Clermont Auvergne, France, and principal researcher at IHRIM of French National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS).
