Download or read book Nativism Overseas written by Hsin-sheng C. Kao and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-07-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines five of the most influential Chinese-born women writers of the post-war era: Nie Hualing, Yu Lihua, Chen Ruoxi, Li Li, and Zhong Xiaoyang. They have become a dominating force in Chinese literature today, although they presently reside outside their homeland. This book raises a clear and consistent voice in line with the literature of exile and self discovery. As these writers talk of the 'root'—the self, and their social, cultural, and historical identities— their varied voices share the unique characteristics of the literature of exile. These women, who continue to write in their native language, envision themselves as the literary mediators between their lost past and their newly adopted homeland. They compare each of these worlds in terms of the demons with which they have wrestled for identity, recognition, and freedom. The book is of interest not only to those with a particular interest in the phenomenon of these Chinese exiled intellectual émigrés and their role in the influence on the development of Chinese literature, but to those who seek to understand the development of women's studies and world literature as a whole, and the influence of East-West literary relations in particular.

Perfumer Portia Ross is haunted by grief and loneliness after the devastating loss of her husband. Though her career once flourished, her sorrow clouds her future. In a bid to heal and reclaim her sense of purpose, she embarks on a journey to Egypt, determined to uncover the secrets of Cleopatra’s legendary perfume—and perhaps some of the queen’s strength along the way. As Portia follows an ancient scent trail hidden within temple walls and desert flora, she confronts her deepest fears—with the help of a man who kindles desires she thought were lost forever. Nadir, weary of the monotony of his tour guide business, steps in when his archaeologist friend declines the job. Though not the expert Portia expected, Nadir guides her through Egypt’s mesmerizing temples and desert landscapes, offering unexpected insights and a strength reminiscent of Cleopatra’s greatest love, Mark Antony. As their connection deepens, his childhood trauma as an orphan and his unwavering faith resonates with Portia’s grief, forging a profound emotional bond. But as their bond grows and more discoveries are made, the secrets Nadir harbors threaten to unravel the blossoming romance between them. In the sands of Egypt, where ancient fragrances linger, will Portia unearth Cleopatra’s long-lost perfume, or will a new scent—love—bloom in the desert?
