“…Based on both quantitative and qualitative empirical data, this book reveals the new dynamics and interactions generated by the Covid-19 pandemic not only between different sub-groups of Chinese in France, but also between ethnic Chinese and their both countries: China and France. Mutual aid, local or transnational solidarity, inclusion initiatives, like any act of exclusion and hostility, invite you to question the essence of humanity in transnational settings, beyond the racialization of the Covid-19 virus"--…”

“…The crisis of more than forty years: A recent global history: In a dialogue between History and studies in International Relations, this recent global history begins with the Cold War and the French May '68 uprisings; it continues with the 1973 oil crisis, which, although initially undervalued and disparaged as an increase in the price of oil, is addressed due to its impact on the course of the century and the political responses it generated: the rise of the New Right in the First World, the Soviet Perestroika, the Four Modernizations in China and the Iranian Revolution. Subsequently, the book covers unfinished transitions: the pretension of a unipolar world, the failed World Order and its conflicts, the 2008 crisis and the search for global governance after the crack En un diálogo entre Historia y estudios en Relaciones Internacionales, esta historia global reciente empieza con la Guerra Fría y el Mayo Francés para continuar con la Crisis de 1973 que, aunque inicialmente subvaluada y reducida al aumento del precio del petróleo, es abordada por su impacto en el devenir del siglo y las respuestas políticas que generó: el ascenso de la nueva derecha en el Primer Mundo, la Perestroika soviética, las Cuatro modernizaciones chinas y la Revolución Iraní. …”

“…In Sitting in Darkness, Hsuan Hsuexamines Twain’s career-long archive of writings about United States relationswith China and the Philippines. Comparing Twain’s early writings about Chineseimmigrants in California and Nevada with his later fictions of slavery andanti-imperialist essays, he demonstrates that Twain’s ideas about race were notlimited to white and black, but profoundly comparative as he carefully craftedassessments of racialization that drew connections between groups, includingAfrican Americans, Chinese immigrants, and a range of colonial populations.Drawing on recent legal scholarship,comparative ethnic studies, and transnational and American studies, Sitting inDarkness engages Twain’s best-known novels such as Tom Sawyer, HuckleberryFinn, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, as well as hislesser-known Chinese and trans-Pacific inflected writings, such as theallegorical tale “A Fable of the Yellow Terror” and the yellow face play AhSin. …”

“…Women’s tanci, or “plucking rhymes,” are chantefable narratives written by upper-class educated women from seventeenth-century to early twentieth-century China.
