City Stage is an anthology of recent Hong Kong English-language drama written for Hong Kong performers and audiences. All the plays were written in the last ten years and so capture and reflect the fast-developing multiculturalism of the Hong Kong scene -- a somewhat paradoxical phenomenon in view of the 1997 return to China Mainland sovereignty.

An exciting analysis of the myriad literary effects of Tiananmen, Belinda Kong's Tiananmen Fictions Outside the Square is the first full-length study of fictions related to the 1989 movement and massacre. More than any other episode in recent world history, Tiananmen has brought a distinctly politicized Chinese literary diaspora into stark relief. Kong redefines Tiananmen's meaning from an event that ended in local political failure to one that succeeded in producing a vital dimension of contemporary transnational writing today.

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.
