Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sequel “Hong Kong by Moonlight” reveals how a segment of this group of misfits handles themselves as outcasts and how they draw others into their cause. Those in similar situations due to personal circumstances befriend them, as they continue to unveil the painful facts of their sorted past and perhaps their future. Let us just pray that this assemblage remembers the words of an oath, written by the priest to prick their hearts with a spiritual intervention lesson, while attempting to improve their relationship with the Divine One and each other. Amen.

This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 3, 1975, Hong Kong received its first cohort of 3,743 Vietnamese boatpeople. The incident opened a 25-year history that belongs to a larger context of forced migration in modern social history. By researching all possible textual material available, the book provides a comprehensive review of the collective history of the Vietnamese boatpeople. Moreover, it intertwines historical archives with personal drawings created by the Vietnamese living in Hong Kong detention camps, recapping a collective memory with its human face. By interpreting and analyzing these drawings, the author demonstrates the expressive and communicative power of imagery as a form of language, and illustrates how art can tell a personal tragic story when language fails. She unfolds the stories and artworks throughout the whole book with the hope that new insights and meanings can be attained through the conscious review and re-interpretation of the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Split into four sections, Seeing Fans analyzes the representations of fans in the mass media through a diverse range of perspectives. This collection opens with a preface by noted actor and fan Orlando Jones (Sleepy Hollow), whose recent work on fandom (appearing with Henry Jenkins at Comic Con and speaking at the Fan Studies Network symposium) bridges the worlds of academia and the media industry. Section one focuses on the representations of fans in documentaries and news reports and includes an interview with Roger Nygard, director of Trekkies and Trekkies 2. The second section then examines fictional representations of fans through analyses of television and film, featuring interviews with Emily Perkins of Supernatural, Robert Burnett, director of the film Free Enterprise, and Luminosity, a fan who has been interviewed in the New York Magazine for her exemplary work in fandom. Section three explores cultural perspectives on fan representations, and includes an interview with Laurent Malaquais, director of Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony. Lastly, the final section looks at global perspectives on the ways fans have been represented and finishes with an interview with Jeanie Finlay, director of the music documentary Sound it Out. The collection then closes with an afterword by fan studies scholar Professor Matt Hills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a city that seems to float between Europe and Asia, removed by a lagoon from the tempos of terra firma, Venice has long seduced the Western imagination. Since the 1797 fall of the Venetian Republic, fantasies about the sinking city have engendered an elaborate series of romantic clichés, provoking conflicting responses: some modern artists and intellectuals embrace the resistance to modernity manifest in Venice's labyrinthine premodern form and temporality, whereas others aspire to modernize by "killing the moonlight" of Venice, in the Futurists' notorious phrase. Spanning the history of literature, art, and architecture—from John Ruskin, Henry James, and Ezra Pound to Manfredo Tafuri, Italo Calvino, Jeanette Winterson, and Robert Coover—Killing the Moonlight tracks the pressures that modernity has placed on the legacy of romantic Venice, and the distinctive strains of aesthetic invention that resulted from the clash. In Venetian incarnations of modernism, the anachronistic urban fabric and vestigial sentiment that both the nation-state of Italy and the historical avant-garde would cast off become incompletely assimilated parts of the new. Killing the Moonlight brings Venice into the geography of modernity as a living city rather than a metaphor for death, and presents the archipelago as a crucible for those seeking to define and transgress the conceptual limits of modernism. In strategic detours from the capitals of modernity, the book redrafts the confines of modernist culture in both geographical and historical terms.

Book excerpt: Hong Kong has long held a fascination for travelers, and has been an inspiration to those who lived there. This new collection of writing offers remarkable insight into Hong Kong's past, with pieces that date as far back as the Song Dynasty and continue to the present day. The sixty extracts are taken from novels, poems, short stories, biographies, letters, postcards, diaries, and even speeches--many never before published--and are illustrated with contemporary photographs and sketches. Writers include Queen Victoria, Jules Verne, Rudyard Kipling, and W.H. Auden, as well as soldiers and sailors, doctors and clergymen, painters and photographers, tourists and travelers, the rich and the poor, Europeans and Chinese. Lord Palmerston comments in 1844 on the addition to the British empire, the first settlers describe and difficulties of life in the new colony, late Victorian ladies struggle with the language, heat, and social obligations, and the war years bring letters from the POW camps. Through these passages readers are given the opportunity to experience Hong Kong and its people, from past to present, in a unique and personal way.

Book excerpt: SUMMER, 2019 PHOENIX attends a protest rally with her older brother, and it ignites a fire in her she didn’t know she had. The island city she loves is disappearing and she’s determined to capture the moment on camera. That night she accidentally swaps phones with the enigmatic Kai. KAI never wanted to be a policeman, but his estranged father enrolled him in the Academy anyway. A chance encounter with a group of student protestors offers him a way to earn his father’s approval once and for all: by going undercover and infiltrating their network. Sparks fly between Phoenix and Kai, drawing them together even as they stand on different sides of the struggle. But when love is built on a lie, what chance does it have to survive?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with the viral poem “Crossing Half of China to Fuck You,” Yu Xiuhua’s raw collection in Fiona Sze-Lorrain's translation chronicles her life as a disabled, divorced, single mother in rural China. Yu Xiuhua was born with cerebral palsy in Hengdian village in the Hubei Province, in central China. Unable to attend college, travel, or work the land with her parents, Yu remained home where she could help with housework. Eventually she was forced into an arranged marriage that became abusive. She divorced her husband and moved back in with her parents, taking her son with her. In defiance of the stigma attached to her disability, her status as a divorced single mother, and as a peasant in rural China, Yu found her voice in poetry. Starting in the late 90’s, her writing became a vehicle with which to explore and share her reflections on homesickness, family and ancestry, the reality of disability in the context of a body’s urges and desires. Then, Yu's poem “Crossing Half of China to Fuck You” blew open the doors on the patriarchal and traditionalist world of contemporary Chinese poetry. She became an internet sensation, finding a devoted following among young readers who enthusiastically welcomed her fresh, bold, confessional voice into the literary canon. Thematically organized, Yu’s essays and poems are in conversation with each other around subjects that include love, nostalgia, mortality, the natural world and writing itself.

Book excerpt: In Networks beyond Empires, Kuo examines business and nationalist activities of the Chinese bourgeoisie in Hong Kong and Singapore between 1914 and 1941. The book argues that speech-group ties were key to understanding the intertwining relationship between business and nationalism. Organization of transnational businesses and nationalist campaigns overlapped with the boundary of Chinese speech-group networks. Embedded in different political-economic contexts, these networks fostered different responses to the decline of the British power, the expansion of the Japanese empire, as well as the contested state building processes in China. Through negotiating with the imperialist powers and Chinese state-builders, Chinese bourgeoisie overseas contributed to the making of an autonomous space of diasporic nationalism in the Hong Kong-Singapore corridor.
