En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, decenas de miles de trabajadores chinos emigraron a Cuba, Peru, Mexico y Panama en busca de una vida mejor. En los paises donde residieron, los chinos y sus descendientes optaron por asimilarse contribuyendo de manera significativa al desarrollo economico de la sociedad de acogida mediante su participacion laboral en la agricultura, el transporte y otras industrias. Asimismo, en el ambito literario, artistico, religioso y politico tambien aportaron al devenir cultural de estos paises. En Toma y daca: Transculturacion y presencia de escritores chino-latinoamericanos, uno de los primeros estudios de la tradicion literaria china-latinoamericana y uno de los primeros que trata obras de autores nunca antes estudiados, Huei Lan Yen examina como los escritores latinoamericanos de primera y segunda generacion de ascendencias china y mestiza utilizan la literatura para reconstruir, reevaluar, y renegociar sus identidades culturales. Yen sostiene que es a traves de esa produccion literaria que conseguimos un mejor entendimiento de las complejidades y tensiones del proceso de la transculturacion Oriente-Occidente en America Latina del siglo XIX. Explorando a gran escala la interrelacion unica entre los componentes de la cultura china, como el confucianismo y el taoismo, y las culturas dominantes de America Latina, Yen demuestra que la literatura china en America Latina posee una tradicion de compleja y sofisticada estetica, pero siempre con sus propios rasgos distintivos culturales.
