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.

The Chinese Cultural Revolution is the single most important internal social event in contemporary Chinese history. The plethora of history, literary, and artistic representations inspired by this event are critical to our understanding of the diversified, often contested, interpretations of contemporary China. Li Li’s critical examination of autobiographic, filmic and fictional presentations in Memory, Fluid Identity, and the Politics of Remembering: The Representations of the Chinese Cultural Revolution in English-speaking Countries demonstrates that “memory works” not only reflect memories of those who lived through that period, but memories about their past, and, more importantly, about their identity remapping and artistic negotiation in a cross-cultural environment.

Since the beginning of the Western tradition in drama, dominant cultures have theatrically represented marginal or foreign racial groups as other-different form ""normal"" people, not completely human, uncivilized, quaint, exotic, comic. Playwrights and audiences alike have been fascinated with racial difference, and this fascination has depended upon a process of fetishization.
