Full Description
This book offers a new take on the relationship between Latin America and China, while ranging widely across literary studies, cultural studies, visual culture and politics. It focusses on a number of questions, including: Did the Chinese visit and even colonize the New World before Christopher Columbus? What are the implications for twenty-first century geo-politics of China's "move" into Latin America? Can we read the implications of the current tech-war between China and the United States in the storyline of the twenty-first-century video game? Is the magical-real novel the prototypical example of "world literature", and, if it is, how does the Chinese novel fit in? Did the Peruvian poet, César Vallejo, have a special interest in China, and does the fact that he was a Trotskyite explain the suspicious circumstances in which he died in April 1938? Was he secretly poisoned by the Soviet Union's NKVD?
