About this book series
This series is devoted to the diversity of encounters between Latin
America and Asia through multiple points of contact across time and space. It
welcomes different theoretical and disciplinary approaches to define, describe,
and explore the histories and cultural production of people of Asian descent in
Latin America and the Caribbean. It also welcomes research on Hispano-Filipino history and cultural production. Themes may include Asian immigration and
geopolitics, the influence and/or representation of the Hispanic world in
Asian cultures, Orientalism and Occidentalism in the Hispanic world and
Asia, and other transpacific and south-south exchanges that disrupt the
boundaries of traditional academic fields and singular notions of identity. The
geographical scope of the series incorporates the linguistic and ethnic
diversity of the Pacific Rim and the Caribbean region. We welcome single-author
monographs and volumes of essays from experts in the field from different
academic backgrounds.
