Book excerpt: What makes a 9-year-old boy remember something deeply? It must be a dramatic event or a tragedy. What will he become? What kind of life will he go through? This author has experienced it all. This book describes the ups and downs that he, Mr. Adam Ma (Ma Li in Chinese), and his family have faced for more than half a century. Through a series of memories and stories, coupled with the author’s reflections and insights, it illustrates not only the earth-shaking changes that China experienced but also the development of manufacturing globalization in the past fifty years. Through the “Reform and Opening-Up” movement, China entered the world, with various progressions and developments in the process of cultural exchange and economic integration. The author has witnessed huge historic changes and reflects the changing of times in his stories, like a drop of water reflecting the world. The book not only contains life stories, but also an understanding of cultural differences as well as leadership concepts related to the author’s actual business practices. From an idealist to a business manager, a communist to a capitalist, and self-scarification to self-development, the author has called his journey “The Way to Home” - A wandering child going back into God’s House.

Book Synopsis States of Disconnect by : Adhira Mangalagiri
Download or read book States of Disconnect written by Adhira Mangalagiri and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an interconnected world, literature moves through transnational networks, crosses borders, and bridges diverse cultures. In these ways, literature can bring people closer together. Today, as hopes for globalization wane and exclusionary nationalism is on the march, can literature still offer new ways of relating with others? Comparative literature has long been under the spell of circulation, contact, connectivity, and mobility—what if it instead sought out their antitheses? States of Disconnect examines the breakdown of transnationalism through readings of literary texts that express aversion to pairing ideas of China and India. Focusing on practices of comparison, Adhira Mangalagiri considers how these texts articulate the undesirability or impossibility of relating with national others, tracing portrayals of violence, silence, and distance. She proposes the concept of “disconnect”: a crisis of transnationalism perceptible in moments when a connection is severed, interrupted, or disavowed. Despite their apparent insularity, texts of disconnect offer possibilities for relating ethically across national borders while resisting both narrow nationalisms and globalized habits of thought. Reading a variety of largely untranslated twentieth-century Chinese and Hindi short stories, novels, and poems, Mangalagiri develops three new strategies for comparison—friction, ellipses, and contingency—that together comprise a critical vocabulary of disconnect. Foregrounding transnationalism’s discontents, States of Disconnect offers a different path by which literary texts can cultivate a critical sensibility for making sense of a world rife with division.

Download or read book White Riot written by Henry Tsang and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays and photographs that document the anti-Asian riots of 1907 in the context of contemporary anti-Asian sentiment. White Riot: The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in Vancouver explores the conditions leading up to and the impact of a demonstration and parade in Vancouver, Canada, organized by the Asiatic Exclusion League and the ensuing mob attack on the city’s Chinese Canadian and Japanese Canadian communities. Emblematic of a systemically racist era, White Riot reveals the social and political environment of the time, when racialized communities were targeted through legislated as well as physical acts of exclusion and violence. Based on 360 Riot Walk, a 360-degree video walking tour by artist and author Henry Tsang, White Riot offers an intersectional approach to this pivotal moment in the history of racialized communities and a cultural and social context for understanding for the current wave of anti-Asian sentiment. It features photographs of the riots colourized by Tsang as well as those of contemporary Vancouver where the riots took place. Essays by Tsang and others speak to the colonial times that preceded and followed the 1907 riots, as well as issues that Chinese and Japanese communities (and other racialized communities) in North America are facing today. White Riot poses the question: in the current ethos of anti-racism and decolonization, what does it take to reconcile our collective histories within the legacy of white supremacy?
