East-West Montage: Reflections on Asian Bodies in DiasporaUniversity of Hawaii Press, 6 nov. 2007 - 328 pagini "East-West Montage possesses a unique vision that promises to push discussions of globalization, cultural production, ethnic identity, and bodily metaphors in powerful new directions.

Indeed where others specialize in either the collection of details or the unpacking of text, Ma weaves a strong analytic exegesis rooted in thorough research." —Richard King, Washington State University |
