Social tensions concerning race and ethnicity continue to pose profound challenges to Asia-Pacific countries in various stages of development and modernisation. Issues such as social justice, identity-formation, marginalisation and alienation, gender and related issues, are inevitably implicated in the racial cultures of Asia, and where Asian diasporic communities develop. The essays in this volume explore the ways in which race-culture is reflected in literature and cultural texts (drama and performance, visual arts, film and television). Included in this volume are essays on Amitav Ghosh, Vivan Sundaram, Li-Young Lee, R. K. Narayan, Ayu Utami, Dewi Lestari, Rex Shelley, Xu Xi, Pico Iyer and others. 410 0$aText (Rodopi (Firm)) 606 $aEthnicity$zAsia 606 $aRace relations 606 $aTransnationalism 606 $aNationalism$zAsia 606 $aSocial change$zAsia 607 $aPacific Area$xRace relations$vCongresses 615 0$aEthnicity 615 0$aRace relations. 615 0$aTransnationalism. 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a306.09 701 $aGoh$b Robbie B.
