Synopsis

A political project that acknowledges—without engaging in—controversies of ownership and location, this collection discusses diasporic negotiations with China, with "Chineseness," and with the politics of not being Chinese. What does it mean to be Chinese in terms of community, identity, politics and relationships wherever you live? These negotiations are understood through their cultural formations: language, the Internet, television, metaphor, food, painting, fashion, and film.
