Minor Transnationalism PDF
Edited by Lionnet Francoise Lionnet, Shih Shu-mei Shih
Description
Based in a broad range of fields-including literature, history, African studies, Asian American studies, Asian studies, French and francophone studies, and Latin American studies-the contributors complicate ideas of minority cultural formations and challenge the notion that transnationalism is necessarily a homogenizing force. They cover topics as diverse as competing versions of Chinese womanhood; American rockabilly music in Japan; the trope of mestizaje in Chicano art and culture; dub poetry radio broadcasts in Jamaica; creole theater in Mauritius; and race relations in Salvador, Brazil. Together, they point toward a new theoretical vocabulary, one capacious enough to capture the almost infinitely complex experiences of minority groups and positions in a transnational world.
