Highlighting the geopolitical and economic circumstances that have prompted migration from Hong Kong and mainland China to Canada, The Transcultural Streams of Chinese Canadian Identities examines the Chinese Canadian community as a simultaneously transcultural, transnational, and domestic social and cultural formation. Essays in this volume argue that Chinese Canadians, a population that has produced significant cultural imprints on Canadian society, must create and constantly redefine their identities as manifested in social science, literary, and historical spheres. These perpetual negotiations reflect social and cultural ideologies and practices and demonstrate Chinese Canadians' recreations of their self-perception, self-expression, and self-projection in relation to others. Contextualized within larger debates on multicultural society and specific Chinese Canadian cultural experiences, this book considers diverse cultural presentations of literary expression, the “model minority” and the influence of gender and profession on success and failure, the gendered dynamics of migration and the growth of transnational (“astronaut”) families in the 1980s, and inter-ethnic boundary crossing. Taking an innovative approach to the ways in which Chinese Canadians adapt to and construct the Canadian multicultural mosaic, The Transcultural Streams of Chinese Canadian Identities explores various patterns of Chinese cultural interchanges in Canada and how they intertwine with the community's sense of disengagement and belonging. Contributors include Lily Cho (York), Elena Chou (York), Eric Fong (Chinese University of Hong Kong), Loretta Ho (Toronto), Jack Leong (Toronto), Jessica Tsui-yan Li (York), Lucia Lo (York), Guida Man (York), Kwok-kan Tam (Hang Seng Management College), Eleanor Ty (Wilfrid Laurier), and Henry Yu (British Columbia).

Performing Identities and Utopias of Belonging consists of sixteen essays, reflecting the current conflicted debate on the ontology, constructiveness and affect of categories of ascribed social identity such as gender, ethnicity, race and nation, in the context of British, Irish and North American cultural landscapes. They address the many ways in which these communities of belonging are imagined, iterated, performed, questioned, and deconstructed in literature, cinema and visual culture; the...

La 4e de couverture indique : "Ce grand pays regorge de richesses. Pourtant ce sont ses luttes qui l'ont façonné. Sans cesse, les Sud-Africains ont dû se battre. Contre l'apartheid, et pour leur liberté bien sûr. Mais aussi contre les éléments, les antagonismes communautaires, les inégalités sociales criantes qui noient la nation "arc-en-ciel" dans un tourbillon de violences. Comprendre l'Afrique du Sud exige à la fois de connaître et d'oublier Nelson Mandela. Ce dernier est partout. Gravé dans l?imaginaire mondial comme le héros d'une émancipation gagnée dans la paix. Mais les Sud-Africains "nés libres" dénoncent une liberté inachevée. Le pays vit au fil de ses convulsions. Il se cabre à la manière des fauves de ses parcs naturels ou des flots rugissants du Cap de Bonne-Espérance. Ce petit livre n'est pas un guide. Il dit l'âme d'un peuple qui souffre et vit en même temps. Parce que pour le comprendre, il faut avoir entendu le cri de sa terre fracturée et si souvent blessée."
