Paperback. Condition: New. Surviving the City: The Italian and Chinese Immigrant Experiences in New York City, 1890-1970 represents one of the earliest efforts to link the history of European and Asian immigrants. By emphasizing the crucial roles played by the immigrants' traditions and the ethnic economies in shaping their adjustment patterns in America, but by no means losing sight of the impact of discrimination against the newcomers, Xinyang Wang revised the monistic approach to the study of Asian American history which for many decades focused almost exclusively on the effect of discrimination. The many similarities between the adjustment patterns of the two immigrant groups discussed in the book highlight the necessity and feasibility of examining the history of Asian and European immigrants on the same footing.

Hardback. Condition: New. China has been stereotypically perceived as a place of backwardness. However, the 21st century has been a transitional period for China to express its cultural power. This book explores how digital technology, in particular virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), is playing a role in China's rejuvenation, especially in relation to cultural displays, performances and art exhibitions.It examines how audiences, both in China and globally, respond to Digital China through digital immersive art. Drawing on the author's anthropological research and empirical studies on stakeholders and audience reception, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of transformative power of digital technology and its impact on cultural experience in contemporary China.The 'reform of the cultural system' over the past two decades in China has fostered a techno-cultural imaginary mixed with the celebration of Chinese civilisation and advanced by digital technology and entrepreneurs. Such a hybrid imaginary influences how people view and consume digital immersive art. Much digital immersive art within China is thus viewed within the framework of modernisation, as the case studies in this book will show. Outside China, however, the dominant narrative of techno-orientalism prevails, constructing a different image of Digital China, a technocratic state.
