Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian studies – as basically all efforts to engage in inter-culturally – is caught in producing and reproducing prejudices on the one hand and denying differences and specificities on the other. In particular in academic studies and teaching the challenge is to overcome this apparent dichotomy and the task is to establish understanding without prejudice of what Asia really was and is. The extensive range of topics and views in this volume challenge a mode of globalisation that simply overthrows national traditions by a Darwinian-kind of rule of the survival of the strongest, the fittest will actually be the one who is well capable to manage difference by understanding them in a historical context and acknowledge them as part of something new that is emerging in front of our eyes. This book will stimulate further research and debate within and without the boundaries of Asian Studies.

Book excerpt: DOING BUSINESS WITH CHINA: THE IRISH ADVANTAGE AND CHALLENGE emphasises Ireland's favourable conditions for developing business links with China. Located in the European Union, Ireland is the only English-speaking country in the Eurozone, with a well-educated workforce and a low corporate tax rate of 12.5%. It is also a militarily neutral country. Less well-known is that Ireland is highly regarded in China because of the Shannon free trade zone, which as the first of its kind set the model for China to establish its special economic zones, significantly contributing to its economic boom. To an extent, Ireland and China share similar socio-cultural traditions, which has made understanding and communication between both nations easier in comparison to many other Western countries. Irish people also appear to have the ability to negotiate between Western and Chinese cultures, which helps them to overcome inter-cultural challenges, and so Irish business people have tended to succeed in China more than might be expected. However, there are some barriers that may prevent Irish business people from taking advantage of the opportunities to achieve greater success in China. The authors identify the issues that need to be considered by the Irish government and civil servants - in particular, a China-focused national strategy and policy, as well as high quality public services - and propose recommendations to overcome these challenges. DOING BUSINESS WITH CHINA is based on a survey involving more than 500 Irish companies and individuals, as well as 47 in-depth interviews, by a research team composed of both Irish and Chinese scholars with different research backgrounds.

Download or read book Who s Irish written by Gish Jen and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-08-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dazzling collection of short stories, the award-winning author of the acclaimed novels Thank You, Mr. Nixon and Mona in the Promised Land—presents a "sparkling ... gently satiric look at the American Dream and its fallout on those who pursue it" (The New York Times). The stories in Who's Irish? show us the children of immigrants looking wonderingly at their parents' efforts to assimilate, while the older generation asks how so much selfless hard work on their part can have yielded them offspring who'd sooner drop out of life than succeed at it. With dazzling wit and compassion, Gish Jen looks at ambition and compromise at century's end and finds that much of the action is as familiar—and as strange—as the things we know to be most deeply true about ourselves.

Download or read book The Chinese May Fourth Generation and the Irish Literary Revival Writers and Fighters written by Simone O’Malley-Sutton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the early twentieth-century Irish Renaissance (Irish Literary Revival) inspired the Chinese Renaissance (the May Fourth generation) of writers to make agentic choices and translingual exchanges. It sheds a new light on “May Fourth” and on the Irish Renaissance by establishing that the Irish Literary Revival (1900-1922) provided an alternative decolonizing model of resistance for the Chinese Renaissance to that provided by the western imperial center. The book also argues that Chinese May Fourth intellectuals translated Irish Revivalist plays by W. B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, Seán O’Casey and Synge and that Chinese peasants performed these plays throughout China during the 1920s and 1930s as a form of anti-imperial resistance. Yet this literary exchange was not simply going one way, since Yeats, Lady Gregory, Synge and O’Casey were also influenced by Chinese developments in literature and politics. Therefore this was a reciprocal encounter based on the circulation of Anti-colonial ideals and mutual transformation.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is the first study to examine the Irish and Chinese interethnic and interracial dynamic in the United States and the British Empire in Australia and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Utilizing comparative and transnational perspectives and drawing on multinational and multilingual archival research including Chinese language sources, “The Global Irish and Chinese” argues that Irish immigrants were at the forefront of anti-Chinese movements in Australia, Canada, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. Their rhetoric and actions gave rise to Chinese immigration restriction legislation and caused major friction in the Qing Empire’s foreign relations with the United States and the British Empire. Moreover, Irish immigrants east and west of the Rocky Mountains and on both sides of the Canada-United States border were central to the formation of a transnational white working-class alliance aimed at restricting the flow of Chinese labor into North America. Looking at the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender, this project reveals a complicated history of relations between the Irish and Chinese in Australia, Canada, and the United States, which began in earnest with the mid-nineteenth century gold rushes in California, New South Wales, Victoria, and British Columbia. While the Irish were often the foremost enemies of the Chinese and the dominant pattern in relations between both groups was one of racial conflict and economic competition, they were also the ethnic group most likely to intermarry with the Chinese and a few were among the most outspoken champions of Chinese racial equality. Chinese sources indicate that the Chinese did not view their “excluders” as a monolithic white nativist constituency but rather often singled out the Irish as culpable in leading and exacerbating anti-Chinese movements. Furthermore, the Chinese were not passive victims but rather challenged their Irish opponents in myriad ways. This study makes sense of the complex relations between the Irish and Chinese in North America and Australia, which provides insights into the study of migration and empire, race and ethnicity, gender and class, and the connections between immigration and foreign relations.

Download or read book When the Luck of the Irish Ran Out written by David J. J. Lynch and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few countries have been as dramatically transformed in recent years as Ireland. Once a culturally repressed land shadowed by terrorism and on the brink of economic collapse, Ireland finally emerged in the late 1990s as the fastest-growing country in Europe, with the typical citizen enjoying a higher standard of living than the average Brit. Just a few years after celebrating their newly-won status among the world's richest societies, the Irish are now saddled with a wounded, shrinking economy, soaring unemployment, and ruined public finances. After so many centuries of impoverishment, how did the Irish finally get rich, and how did they then fritter away so much so quickly? Veteran journalist David J. Lynch offers an insightful, character-driven narrative of how the Irish boom came to be and how it went bust. He opens our eyes to a nation's downfall through the lived experience of individual citizens: the people responsible for the current crisis as well as the ordinary men and women enduring it.
