Cross-Worlds: Short Stories on Global Themes

Suzanne S. Choo

4.9/5 (27407 ratings)

Description:Our twenty-first century is marked by a prevalent consciousness of ourselves as part of a global community. Transnational mobility of capital, people, products, and technology has served to intensify a sense of interconnectedness among people from diverse and disparate locations around the world. The challenge then is how we can seek to understand the complexities and nuances of our globalised world. It is here that literature provides powerful insights into the lives of individuals as they grapple with globalization and its effects arising from cross-border movements of tourists, refugees, asylum seekers, cross-cultural clashes and mixings, and political cross-fires among nations. This anthology features ten short stories written by internationally acclaimed writers around the world, including Chimamanda Adichie, Margaret Atwood, Nadine Gordimer, Ha Jin, Ken Liu, Bharati Mukherjee, Madhuri Vijay and Wena Poon among others. The stories are set in diverse settings – from Singapore to Canada, China, India, Nigeria, South Africa, the United States – and deal with global issues such as terrorism, the plight of asylum seekers and refugees, immigrant experiences, modern-day slavery and the effects of capitalism. It is hoped that these stories will prompt deeper, more empathetic, and layered connections with multiple others in our world.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
