Chinese American Voices: From the Gold Rush to the Present

Chinese American Voices: From the Gold Rush to the Present


Described by others as quaint and exotic, or as depraved and threatening, and, more recently, as successful and exemplary, the Chinese in America have rarely been asked to describe themselves in their own words. This superb anthology, a diverse and illuminating collection of primary documents and stories by Chinese Americans, provides an intimate and textured history of the Chinese in America from their arrival during the California Gold Rush to the present. Among the documents are letters, speeches, testimonies, oral histories, personal memoirs, poems, essays, and folksongs; many have never been published before or have been translated into English for the first time. They bring to life the diverse voices of immigrants and American-born; laborers, merchants, and professionals; ministers and students; housewives and prostitutes; and community leaders and activists. Together, they provide insight into immigration, work, family and social life, and the longstanding fight for equality and inclusion. Featuring photographs and extensive introductions to the documents written by three leading Chinese American scholars, this compelling volume offers a panoramic perspective on the Chinese American experience and opens new vistas on American social, cultural, and political history.

Kolobok (Russian, Chinese, English and Spanish Edition)

Kolobok (Russian, Chinese, English and Spanish Edition)


From the dough I was made, in the oven I was baked, on the window I was bored, down the trail I jumped and rolled, clever Kolobok I'm called. Kolobok is a traditional Russian folk tale beloved by kids and adults alike. The story of a restless little bun who comes to life and escapes from his makers, it holds parallels with similar tales found in the folklore of every nation in the world. Yet despite this universal storyline, the Russian version offers its own distinctive cultural flavor. Now, you and your child can both experience the beauty of Russia's rich linguistic legacy without leaving your 21st century home. In this innovative edition, Kolobok has been carefully translated into modern Russian, English, Spanish and Chinese - especially for the enjoyment of children ages 2-6, families speaking more than one language, and foreign language learners of all ages! The traditions of folk storytelling are timeless, borderless, and universal. Kolobok is only one of a million precious stones that adorn the magnificent crown of our common folk literary heritage. The story you hold in your hands is a piece of culture that belongs in every family's home. In retelling the age-old story of Kolobok, careful consideration was placed on accurately transcribing linguistic and cultural intricacies within the story, reflecting important innate differences between the languages chosen. Native speakers of each language wrote and proofread the translations; focus groups of parents and children evaluated and approved of the book's unique format. Everyone involved in the project truly enjoyed bringing Kolobok to life. Illustrations in the book are digital and were created using image processing software. The photographs were digitally captured or carefully selected from the finest digital archives of distinguished photographers, then skillfully fused with digital drawings. This combination immerses young readers in a magical world of folk storytelling, where borders between reality and fiction are blurred. Kolobok is printed in English but includes matching captions printed in other languages on re-sealable stickers (at the back of the book). The languages included in this multilingual edition are Russian, Spanish and Chinese. To switch or add a language, simply put the numbered stickers on top of the original printed text. Also, included with this book is a CD containing a narration of the story in each of the four languages. And finally, we have provided a set of numbered blank stickers. We support and encourage families to make use of this set; if you don't find your native language in this edition, you have the option of writing your own translation on the blank stickers. This book is multilingual, and we want you to treat it as such.

Biblical Translation In Chinese And Greek - Toshikazu S. Foley (hardcover)

Biblical Translation In Chinese And Greek - Toshikazu S. Foley (hardcover)


A researcher with the Bible Society in Taiwan, Foley is currently working on Bible study notes for the Chinese Union Version, and so intimately familiar with difficulties that attend translating scripture across cultural and linguistic borders. Uppermost in his mind here is that the source version of the Bible that is translated into Chinese has traditionally been English, more specifically the King James Version. English and the Greek it translates both use verb endings, he points out, but Chinese does not, so the information they carry must be transferred to some other structure. After a brief history of the Bible in Chinese, he looks at verbal aspects in Mandarin Chinese and New Testament Greek; translating the Greek perfective, imperfective, and stative aspects in the indicative mood into Mandarin; non-indicative moods and conditional clauses; and examples from John's passion narrative and 1 Corinthians.

In Praise of Blandness: Proceeding from Chinese Thought and Aesthetics

In Praise of Blandness: Proceeding from Chinese Thought and Aesthetics


Already translated into six languages, Francois Jullien's In Praise of Blandness has become a classic. Appearing for the first time in English, this groundbreaking work of philosophy, anthropology, aesthetics, and sinology is certain to stir readers to think and experience what may at first seem impossible: the richness of a bland sound, a bland meaning, a bland painting, a bland poem. In presenting the value of blandness through as many concrete examples and original texts as possible, Jullien allows the undifferentiated foundation of all things -- blandness itself -- to appear. After completing this book, readers will reevaluate those familiar Western lines of thought where blandness is associated with a lack -- the undesirable absence of particular, defining qualities.Jullien traces the elusive appearance and crucial value of blandness from its beginnings in the Daoist and Confucian traditions to its integration into literary and visual aesthetics in the late-medieval period and beyond. Gradually developing into a positive quality in Chinese aesthetic and ethical traditions, the bland comprises the harmonious and unnameable union of all potential values, embodying a reality whose very essence is change and providing an infinite opening into the breadth of human expression and taste.More than just a cultural history, In Praise of Blandness invites those both familiar and unfamiliar with Chinese culture to explore the resonances of the bland in literary, philosophical, and religious texts and to witness how all currents of Chinese thought -- Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism -- converge in harmonious accord.

Globish The World Over (Chinese): Side-By-Side Translation (Chinese Edition)

Globish The World Over (Chinese): Side-By-Side Translation (Chinese Edition)


This translated version of Globish The World Over is for readers who want to use their native tongue to learn about this Globish tool for international communication, but it also lets students who are learning English see the basic structures of Globish-English, line-by-line in Chinese. "I must congratulate you on GLOBISH THE WORLD OVER. It's a pioneering text of great importance, full of enthralling insights for native and non-native English users alike" -- Robert McCrum, author, The Story of English and Literary Editor, London Observer. Globish, as a concept, takes to task the world hegemony of arrogant English-speakers. Hence the landmark book Don't Speak English - Parlez Globish became a best-seller in French, and other languages, but it never appeared in English. GLOBISH THE WORLD OVER is the first book written in Globish-English. Non-native English speakers from non-Anglophone countries use English better between themselves than with any native English speaker. Globish codifies their very efficient "similar limitations". The word Globish may strike English-speakers as an "odd" way to rename their English. However billions of speakers in Brazil, Russia, India and China will be the new "owners" of what the world is now calling Globish. The implications are far-reaching. GLOBISH THE WORLD OVER discusses this phenomenon, and demonstrates that Globish - as a deliberate and sufficient subset of English for international communication - is limited more by a person's communication ability than by mere words.

The Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Drama (Weatherhead Books on Asia)

The Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Drama (Weatherhead Books on Asia)


The first of its kind in English, this anthology translates twenty-two popular Chinese plays published between 1919 and 2000, accompanied by a critical introduction to the historical, cultural, and aesthetic evolution of twentieth-century Chinese spoken drama. Primarily comprising works from the People's Republic of China, though including representative plays from Hong Kong and Taiwan, this collection not only showcases the revolutionary rethinking of Chinese theater and performance that began in the late Qing dynasty. It also highlights the formation of Chinese national and gender identities during a period of tremendous social and political change, along with the genesis of contemporary attitudes toward the West.Early twentieth-century Chinese drama embodies the uncertainty and anxiety brought on by modernism, socialism, political conflict, and war. After 1949, PRC theater painted a complex portrait of the rise of communism in China, with the ideals of Chinese socialism juxtaposed against the sacrifices made for a new society. The Cultural Revolution promoted a "model theater" cultivated from the achievements of earlier, leftist spoken drama, even though this theater arose from the destruction of old culture. Post-Mao drama addresses the socialist legacy and the attempts of a wounded nation to reexamine its cultural roots. Taiwan's spoken drama synthesizes regional and foreign traditions, and Hong Kong's spoken drama sparkles as a hybrid of Chinese and Western influences. Immensely valuable for cross-disciplinary, comparative, and performance study, this anthology provides essential perspective on China's theatricality and representation of political life. (4/20/11)

Chinese Mythology: An Introduction

Chinese Mythology: An Introduction


In Chinese Mythology, Anne Birrell provides English translations of some 300 representative myth narratives selected from over 100 classical texts, many of which have never before been translated into any Western language. Organizing the narratives according to themes and motifs common to world mythology, Birrell addresses issues of source, dating, attribution, textural variants, multiforms, and context. Drawing on exhaustive work in comparative mythology, she surveys the development of Chinese myth studies, summarizes the contribution of Chinese and Japanese scholars to the study of Chinese myth since the 1920s, and examines special aspects of traditional approaches to Chinese myth. The result is an unprecedented guide to the study of Chinese myth for specialists and nonspecialists alike.

Truth and Nature (Dao De Jing) (Chinese Edition)

Truth and Nature (Dao De Jing) (Chinese Edition)


With cross-references of Chinese with its English translation, this edition of The Works of Lao Zi, Truth and Nature, popularly known as Dao-De-Jing, translated by Cheng Lin, the renowned scholar of Qin Dynasty texts, enhances the understanding of the most translated and most studied Chinese classic of all times. Dao-De-Jing is a small book consisting of approximately 5,000 words only. However, its influence on the Chinese mind, if not actually exceeding, at least has been a close rival of scores of Confucian classics put together. Its appearance has been instrumental in founding one of the three main philosophical systems in China. Aside from Buddhism which was introduced from India, and Confucianism which nominally has been the national orthodoxy, no School of Thought has occupied the same place of importance as the votaries of Taoism. The amount of interest and the extent of influence engendered by this book are vastly disproportional to its size. This translation is based on the textual studies of professor Kao Heng, whose Lao-Zi-Jeng-Guu may be rightly regarded as a work which embodies the accumulated results of the researches of more than a score of China’s most brilliant scholars.
