Global Chinese Literature
This path-breaking collection of critical essays introduces a diverse range of approaches to open up the field of modern Chinese literature to new cross-regional, local, and global analyses. Each of the ten essays deals with a particular conceptual problem or case study of different locations and modalities of Chinese-language, or Sinophone, production. From language to music, literature to popular culture, minority politics to internal diaspora, theories of sinography to China's quest for the Nobel Prize, this volume brings together leading and new voices in the study of Chinese literature from a variety of comparative and intranational perspectives. Contributors include scholars from Asia, North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. It is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in contemporary China and the global politics of Sinophone literature. ``This thought-provoking anthology has opened up many fascinating questions. Although its intended readership is scholars from literary studies, anyone who is interested in the interplay between language, ethnicity and identity should not miss it.`` Zhengdao Ye, The Australian National University

Parents are reluctant to talk honestly and openly about sex with their children; sexually active adults are reluctant to communicate honestly about their sexual history; and teens and adolescents pay the price imposed by this perv...
The Choreographers
Campaign advance is a world unto itself, an experience never to be matched, and, for your average 20-something, the job of a lifetime. And the best part is, few know about it. Follow a presidential campaign through the eyes of four advance staffers as they jet set across the country moving from city to city, campaign stop to campaign stop. This is far from your average campaign tale. These staffers are not the big names or the major players; they are the ground team, the ones who make the presidential campaign wheel spin, the ones who make it look good, and the ones who get to have all the fun.
