New World Orderings

“This important collection is cutting-edge work on China’s impact and interaction with the global South. By engaging with the gamut of cultural, diplomatic, and economic interactions and practices in China’s relationships with countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the contributors illuminate regional inequalities, gendered labor migration, trading ties, racial tensions, and neoliberal ideologies. It is a useful resource for all students and scholars in Chinese studies.” - Ban Wang, author of China in the World: Culture, Politics, and World Vision

“This important volume focuses on the centrality of soft power and the cultural dynamics of China’s connections to the global South and how this influences the signifying and development of Chinese-ness. It is a timely corrective supplement to dominant social science discussions on how China’s emergence as a global power has drastically altered the world system.” - Pheng Cheah, author of What Is a World?: On Postcolonial Literature as World Literature

"New World Orderings is a timely contribution to the growing body of literature on the relationship between the Sinosphere and the Global South. By giving readers a glimpse into these multifaceted and evolving relationships from the ground up, readers see that these interactions are complex, nuanced, and often tell alternative stories about how communities are made, how commodities and capital travel, and how 'Chineseness' is a fundamentally ephemeral concept." - Kelly A. Hammond, Modern Chinese Literature and Culture

"The 13 contributors, representing the arts, social sciences, and interdisciplinary studies, establish interesting connections among social, cultural, and economic worlds. . . . Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals." - G. A. McBeath, Choice
