About this book
This book brings together a group of leading and emerging scholars on the history of cultural and literary interactions between Asia and Latin America. Through a number of interlinked case studies, contributors examine how different forms of Asia-Latin America dialogues are embedded in various national and local contexts.
The volume is divided in four parts: 1) Asian hybrid identities and Latin American transnational narratives; 2) translations and reception of Latin American narratives in Asia; 3) diffracted worlds of Nikkei identities; and 4) interweaving of Asian and Latin American narratives and travel chronicles. Through the lens of modern globality and Transpacific Studies, the contributions inaugurate a perspective that has, until recently, been neglected by Asian and Latin American cultural studies, while offering an incisive theoretical discussion and detailed textual analysis.
Reviews
"Cultural and Literary Dialogues between Asia and Latin America offers a welcome contribution to growing scholarship on Asia and Latin America. Braiding together the many facets of Asian-Latin American interactions, the collection explores fascinating little-known linkages and redraws comparative literary studies along trans-pacific routes. This is an important contribution to Asian and Latin American cultural studies that bridges the divide between two fields and produces a rich understanding of transnationalism, cultural hybridity, and diaspora. A must-read for scholars of Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East".
