Global Identities; Local Voices: Amerasia Journal at 40 Years is a two-volume book project that introduces almost half-a-century of work from Asian American scholars, writers, and researchers in Chinese translation to the Chinese-reading world. Through the power of translation, the pages of Amerasia Journal are now “freed” from the confines of the English language and can reach new audiences of scholars, students, and readers in Taiwan, in mainland China, and in the greater Chinese world on both sides of the Pacific.
This volume provides an ever-expansive view of Asians in the Americas - featuring works that cross borders and boundaries, comparatively examine issues across race and ethnicity, and cover ethnic enclaves. The scholars and literary writers featured here include Lucie Cheng with Liu Yuzun and Zheng Dehua, Tritia Toyota, Arif Dirlik, Roshni Rostumji, and Henry Yu. Eric Yamamoto and Christine Ho provide cross-racial connections, while Dana Takagi looks at sexuality and gender. Shan Te-Hsing interviews author Karen Tei Yamashita and Christopher Lee examines the literary work of Eileen Chang. The volume ends with multi-faceted investigations of American Chinatowns by Katie Quan, Marlon Hom, and Sauling Wong. This is the first time many of the pieces have been made available in translation to Chinese-reading audiences.
Global Identities, Local Voices is a collaborative editorial and translation project between the Center and the Institute of European and American Studies, Academia Sinica Taiwan.
