Urban Chinese Businesswomen in the Internet Age

A Contradictory Middle Class in the Making

The Social Codes of Tech Workers

'A series of intelligent and fiery essays' The Sunday Times 'A landmark in British food writing' Jonathan Nunn 'Makes you laugh, think, and get a little angry' iPaper 'I started stitching together my story through a different, universal language: food.' An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included) is not a recipe book, but a deliberate 'anti-glossary' - a delectable edible anthology that serves up Chinese flavour beyond just its taste. Jenny Lau always found herself sitting between cultures, connected to both east and west. Hungry to understand herself, she threw herself into researching the Chinese food of her heritage. The result is An A-Z of Chinese Food - a surprising, unputdownable and deliciously enriching anthology that uses food to explore who we are and how we relate to the world. From A is for Authentic, breaking down our assumptions of who 'owns' what cuisine, to R is for Rice Cooker, a humorous entry from the point of view a hard-working kitchen appliance that has seen a family through its ups and downs, An A-Z of Chinese Food will change the way you think about, see, and eat, food. 'Lau's writing makes you laugh, think, and get a little angry - sometimes all at once. She tackles serious topics such as cultural appropriation, colonisation, racism and fetishisation in Chinese food with a lightness that never undermines their gravity' ANGELA HUI for iPaper 'I feel seen... I feel called out... I feel educated... I feel comforted and satiated. This is the book I needed growing up. Everyone should read this book!' JENNIFER LI, @bookmarkonthewall, book blogger 'A worthwhile and thoughtful corrective to many of the myths and over-simplifications about Chinese food in the West. Lau poses some great questions, which stayed with me long after I'd finished reading' BEE WILSON for The Sunday Times 'Using the universal language of food, Lau rips through an astonishing list of subjects with a uniquely original style. A must-read for lovers of food yes, but also lovers of exciting, daring writing' FOYLES Booksellers 'A groundbreaking rhapsody of a book, that brings something brand new to the canon of diasporic food writing. An A-Z that shines completely new light on Chinese culinary heritage, with an immediacy and spirited reverence that is a joy to read. Jenny Lau is a compelling and expressive storyteller: intricately weaving personal memoir, extensively researched cultural history and satirical humour with commanding eloquence. An instant classic from an essential new voice.' GURDEEP LOYAL, food &amp; travel writer 'An A-Z of Chinese Food is a landmark in British food writing, somewhere between a book, a magazine, and a treatise, but completely its own thing. Jenny has the rare ability to dissect unwieldy matters of identity, race and culture with the lightness of touch that all serious topics need, combatting preconceived notions about Chinese cuisine with immaculate research and subversive humour. This book is a tonic to the mainstream of food writing' JONATHAN NUNN 'A leading light in the British Chinese community' FUCHSIA DUNLOP

A delectable collection that serves up Chinese flavour beyond its taste

Sex, Family and Culture in the Middle East

"What is the nature of slavery as practiced and at times reintroduced over the past two centuries in the Middle East and North Africa? In spite of the rich regional diversity of the areas studied - from Morocco to the Indian Ocean to Iran - this anthology demonstrates clear commonalities across the super-region. These include the regulation of slavery by Islam and local traditions, the absence of a rigid racial hierarchy as in North American slavery, the management of the sexuality and reproductive capacity of female slaves, and views on identity and heritage among descendants of slaves. Authors also examine the economic and theological underpinnings of contemporary slavery and human trafficking. The book is among the first to focus on slavery across the Islamic world from the 19th century to the present - a period constituting the endgame of institutionalized slavery in the region but also the persistence of forms of de facto enslavement. Each chapter scrutinizes from a different vantage point - institutions, economics, the abolitionist movement, literature, folklore, and the moving image - creating a multi-dimensional picture of the phenomenon. The authors have mined government archives and statistics, memoirs, interviews, photographs, drawings, songs, cinema and television. Not only are Arabic, Persian and Turkish sources leveraged, but a variety of materials in minor and endangered languages, such as Soqotri, Balochi and Sorani Kurdish, in addition to European languages"--

The book will be a work of non-fiction examining the intersections of sex work, power, violence and feminism, building on an article the author wrote for n+1 on these same topics. It will examine and debunk prevalent myths of what commercial sex is and isn't; reveal sex workers not as hostages of the patriarchy, but as leaders of feminist movements; strip away the commonly accepted pillars of conversation around sex work to ask whether it's useful to frame 'sex work' as 'work' at all; and use international examples from the US, UK and elsewhere to build a picture of the current state of legislation and possible futures.

Studies in Private International Law

This book examines the convergences, divergences and reciprocal lessons that the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) share with one another in developing the principles of private international law. The chapters provide a thematic understanding of the cornerstones of private international law in each of the BRICS countries: namely, (1) the procedure to initiate claims in civil and commercial matters, (2) the law that would govern such matters in litigation and arbitration, as well as (3) the mechanism to recognise and enforce foreign judgments and arbitral awards. Written by leading private international law scholars and practitioners, the chapters draw on domestic legislation and its interpretation through cases decided by the courts in each of these emerging economies, and explicitly cover the rules applicable in contractual and non-contractual concerns and issues of choice of court agreements. Issues around marriage, divorce, matrimonial property, succession and surrogacy are also addressed, considering the implication of such aspects through the increased movement of persons. The book is a useful comparative resource for the governments of the BRICS countries, legislators, traders, academics, researchers and students looking for an in-depth discussion of the reciprocal lessons that these countries may have to offer one another on these issues.

SOAS Studies in Modern and Contemporary Japan

This groundbreaking study examines the unlikely merger of two Japanese cultural phenomena, an 11th-century aristocratic text and contemporary manga comics. It explores the ways in which the manga versions of The Tale of Genji use gender, sexuality, and desire to challenge perceptions of reading and readership, morality and ethics, and what is translatable from one culture to another. Lynne K. Miyake shows that, through their girls, ladies, Boy Love, boys and young men, and informational comics remediations of the tale, the manga Genjis visually, narratively, and affectively rework male and female gazes; Miyake reveals how they gently inject humor, eroticize, gender flip, queer, and simultaneously re-inscribe and challenge heteronormative gender norms. The first full-length study of Genji manga, this book analyses these adaptations within manga studies and the historical and cultural moments that fashioned and sustained them. It also interrogates the circumscribed, in-group aristocratic society and the consumer and production practices of the Heian society that come full circle in the manga versions. The Tale of Genji through Contemporary Manga utilizes western queer, feminist, sexuality and gender theory and Japanese cultural practices to illuminate the ways in which the Genji tale redeploys itself. Yet it also provides much needed context and explanation regarding the charges of appropriation of prepubescent (fe)male and gay bodies and the utilization of (sexual) violence mounted against Genji manga-and manga and anime in general once they went global.

Challenging Gender and Sexuality in Japan

The Tale of Genji through Contemporary Manga

Much of the workday, in mindshare and time, is dedicated to outer work: meetings with co-workers, interactions with customers, or working on a deck or other tangible deliverables. For most of us, this is the very&nbsp;definition of "work": external, externally-focused activity. Inner Work puts forth an assertion that is novel today, but that successful leaders have known for millennia: inner work--the practice of thoughtful attention to the inner experience of yourself and others--is "work" as well, and of crucial importance; not just as a question of wellness or employee satisfaction, but as the engine of a potential transformation in the efficacy (and, yes, happiness) of most organizational workplaces. Inner Work draws on a legacy of thought that spans both the Western and Eastern traditions to frame leadership, creativity, and work as an inner experience. For thousands of years across geographies and cultures, humans have understood that leadership and productivity depend on an individual's inner balance and understanding. The importance of these lessons in a knowledge economy is well understood today--from Netflix to Zappos to Google to Valve, leading companies are constantly seeking to create value by empowering employees to unlock their own potential. And for the individual--leader, employee, or both--the need is even more urgent and plain: how can you create more value in your work for your human life?Inner Work is a book about self-exploration; it's also a toolkit for how to improve. Its assertion is that, by looking into ourselves with rigor and integrity, we each have the power to achieve both these goals. This is a book that will help leaders and employees create value for themselves and their organizations by actively exploring their own inner processes, values, and mental models: the tools we use, constantly, to operate in the world.
