S. Chin attempts to define a regional field while at the same time widening its perceptual focus beyond culturally or linguistically specific imaginaries such as the Nanyang, the Nusantara, the Indo-Pacific, or the Malay world. The volume covers the interrelated concepts of race, gender, and sex, and gathers together both global conversations and local studies into a regional intra- and trans-Southeast Asian discourse. The volume includes contributors that self-identify as poets, novelists, translators, linguists, and comparatist scholars, with most being either multicultural scholars local to the region, or based or studying further afield in Hong Kong, Russia, and the Netherlands. Such a diverse range of scholarly professions, trans-disciplinary perspectives, and multilingual competencies speaks to the ambitious remit of the volume, but also highlights the uneven and sometimes precarious nature of bringing them all together under a central theoretical or conceptual frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ijaps.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IJAPS-191_BR-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCERPT A part of Routledge\u2019s expansive Contemporary Southeast Asia Series, this edited volume by Grace V.
