Download or read book Foreign Babes in Beijing written by Rachel DeWoskin and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determined to broaden her cultural horizons and live a “fiery” life, twenty-one-year-old Rachel DeWoskin hops on a plane to Beijing to work for an American PR firm based in the busy capital. Before she knows it, she is not just exploring Chinese culture but also creating it as the sexy, aggressive, fearless Jiexi, the starring femme fatale in a wildly successful Chinese soap opera. Experiencing the cultural clashes in real life while performing a fictional version onscreen, DeWoskin forms a group of friends with whom she witnesses the vast changes sweeping through China as the country pursues the new maxim, “to get rich is glorious.” In only a few years, China’s capital is transformed. With “considerable cultural and linguistic resources” (The New Yorker), DeWoskin captures Beijing at this pivotal juncture in her “intelligent, funny memoir” (People), and “readers will feel lucky to have sharp-eyed, yet sisterly, DeWoskin sitting in the driver’s seat”(Elle).
Download or read book The World in Guangzhou written by Gordon Mathews, and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only decades ago, the population of Guangzhou was almost wholly Chinese. Today, it is a truly global city, a place where people from around the world go to make new lives, find themselves, or further their careers. A large number of these migrants are small-scale traders from Africa who deal in Chinese goods—often knockoffs or copies of high-end branded items—to send back to their home countries. In The World in Guangzhou, Gordon Mathews explores the question of how the city became a center of “low-end globalization” and shows what we can learn from that experience about similar transformations elsewhere in the world. Through detailed ethnographic portraits, Mathews reveals a world of globalization based on informality, reputation, and trust rather than on formal contracts. How, he asks, can such informal relationships emerge between two groups—Chinese and sub-Saharan Africans—that don't share a common language, culture, or religion? And what happens when Africans move beyond their status as temporary residents and begin to put down roots and establish families? Full of unforgettable characters, The World in Guangzhou presents a compelling account of globalization at ground level and offers a look into the future of urban life as transnational connections continue to remake cities around the world.

Download or read book Call Me Li Nana written by Karolina Achirri and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picture a woman from Poland who goes to teach English in China, primarily for one year. I don't know a soul, nor do I speak the language. I have no clue about Chinese culture. All I'm certain of is the amount of rice I'm going to eat from now on. Six years later, I tearfully leave China, the place I have learnt to call home. Not without baggage. Enriched with a Chinese sister, a decent command of Mandarin, an aversion to rice, two kidney stones, a new tattoo, a pulmonary infection (thanks, smog!), one African husband and this memoir. China changed me. It helped me become more mature, more tolerant and more patient or perhaps it simply made me older. I will never forget this adventure. Sometimes it felt like a life sentence, while at other times like an opportunity to keep exploring. I loved and hated it there equally. I cried as much as laughed. One thing China is very good at is to make even the calmest of us frustrated. We are, after all, outsiders, observers, the 'others'. China depicted in this book can change you like it changed me.
