Localizing Asia in Aotearoa by Paola Voci

ISBN: 9781877399619 PUBLISHER: Dunmore Publishing Limited FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 248 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.03.2011 DIMENSIONS: 225mmX160mm

DESCRIPTION: Asians comprise a major part of New Zealand's ethnic diversity and this important book looks at the role they play in shaping New Zealand's history, society and identity. Essays reflect upon the diversity and complexity of Asian experiences, examine geographical, social and cultural locations and different perspectives. Personal narratives, including one from novellist Alison Wong, describe individual experiences. Important questions are addressed: What kinds of misrepresentations or outright prejudice have characterized interactions? To what extent have Asian cultures been known and accepted? Has diversity been understood beyond limiting and potentially distorting oppositional dichotomies? The complex picture of past and contemporary interactions between New Zealander and Asian communities is explored.
