        Liao Zhai Zhiyi

        by Pu Songlin

        It is a collection of short stories in literary language written by the famous Chinese novelist Pu Songling in the Qing Dynasty. They either expose the darkness of feudal rule, or attack the corruption of the imperial examination system, or rebel against the shackles of feudal rituals, and are rich in profound ideological content. The works depicting the theme of love are the most numerous in the whole book, and they express a strong anti-feudal ritualistic spirit. Some of these works, through the romance between flower demons and foxes and humans, express the author's ideal love.

        Funeral of Muslim

        by Huo Da

        FUNERAL OF A MUSLIM is an epic love story that bridges generations, cultures, religions and nations. When it first appeared in China in 1988, the book was met with immediate acclaim, and it has sold more than 4 million copies in the years since. Apart from its power as a tale of love and history, FUNERAL OF A MUSLIM has played a unique role in introducing Islam to Chinese readers, many of whom know little about the Muslim communities that have made up a part of Chinese society for centuries. Apart from descriptions of Muslim customs and rituals, the novel was instrumental in launching public discussion of the essentially multicultural nature of China, even stirring up controversy for its direct address of latent ethnic tensions.

        Songlines through Interviews

        by Zuber-Skerritt, O.

        These songlines 'sing' into history the personal story of Action Learning and Research (ALAR) by an ALAR founder, Ortrun Zuber-Skerritt. Revealed through a collection of interviews conducted by scholars from six countries, these engaging, informative, intimate stories record her ALAR journey to document history and, more importantly, to help develop skills and innovation in workplace/community and lifelong learning for everyone, including the disadvantaged and poorest. Reviewers comments: This book is a must read for action researchers of all stripes and experience levels. Ortrun Zuber-Skerritt, a principal architect of ALAR who has pushed the boundaries of AR conceptually and methodologically, has now created a unique book built out of orchestrated interviews that provide us with much insight into who she is, why and how to learn from her, and invitation to collaborate in further developing our practice for the benefit of everyone. Davydd Greenwood, PhD, Goldwin Smith Professor of Anthropology, Cornell University, USA. --------- Interlinking interviews with personal and professional reflection make this book a welcome contribution, not only to ALAR but also to the wider development of personal narrative research and autoethnography. The methodology will inspire readers to be both creative and honest in their approach to their own studies. Morwenna Griffiths, PhD, Professor and Chair of Classroom Learning, School of Education, Edinburg University, UK --------- I'm excited by the PIP model (Preamble-Interview-Postscript) that Ortrun introduces to structure her ALAR story in this book. It's particularly useful in African countries for making public indigenous knowledge that is traditionally transferred by means of story telling. Ansu Erasmus, PhD, Professor and Senior Director, Higher Education Development and Services, Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa ---------- In this innovative self-ethnographic account, Ortrun shares the experiences that are sources of her wisdom in relation to ALAR. Those who yearn for more control of their work situations, their lives and their environment in general, will be empowered by the personal learning that her 'songlines' convey. Shirley Grundy, PhD, Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Education, University of Hong Kong.

        New Asian Disorder

        Rivalries Embroiling the Pacific Century

        by Edited by Lowell Dittmer

        In New Asian Disorder: Rivalries Embroiling the Pacific Century, Lowell Dittmer and his team explore the recent political disorder in East Asia resulting from growing Sino-American polarization. The rise of China in recent years is widely regarded as a momentous shift in the global balance of power. China is now extending sovereignty into the East China Sea and the South China Sea, constructing a new set of global financial institutions and replacing “universal values” with technologically enhanced nationalism. The country’s “Belt and Road Initiative” is also tainted by the vast ambition to realize the “China Dream” within the foreseeable future. In response to China’s challenge, the United States has abandoned its “constructive engagement” policy towards the rising power and engaged in a trade war. Sino-American relations have been at a historical trough since the normalization of their relationship in the late 1970s. This book sheds new light on the current political disorder in the East Asian international arena. The new Asian disorder is analyzed from three perspectives: the first focuses on identity, the second on political economy, and the third on the triangular dynamic. This collection of essays concludes that, unless and until consensus can be reached on a coherent new framework for cooperation and rule enforcement among different stakeholders in East Asia, the current disorder may be expected to persist.
