Recenzii
"This exploration stands out as a significant contribution to the discourse. . . . Li offers a fresh perspective on the experiences of the Chinese diaspora in recent decades, enriching our understanding of their cultural and social dynamics. . . . Li’s book thoughtfully extends the scope of traditional literary and cinematic studies to encompass a diverse array of genres and historical periods."
"Transpacific Cartographies is an invaluable resource for students, scholars and researchers of Sinophone studies, Asian American studies and literary cartographies, as well as for general readers interested in the Chinese diasporic experience more broadly. What is more, Li's text positions itself as a useful starting point for future comparative studies of how different Asian diasporic groups map their home concepts."
"Transpacific Cartographies examines diasporic psycho-social instabilities and emergences in timely, fresh, coherent ways never done before. At a time of perilous, if not phobic, interactions between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, Melody Li’s focus on the reworlding dynamics and transpacific complexities of “home” from bilingual and diasporic writers like Ha Jin and Yan Geling create insights that are everywhere fresh, poetic, transcultural, uncanny, and elegant."

Descriere
Transpacific Cartographies examines how contemporary Chinese diasporic narratives address the existential loss of home for immigrant communities at a time of global precarity and amid rising Sino-US tensions. Melody Li argues that the characters in these stories create multilayered maps that transcend the territorial boundaries that make finding a home in foreign land a seemingly impossible task.
