In 1967, Berkeley grad student Frank Chan and his artist-activist girlfriend Kathy Ching are staging a revolution. Amid the backdrop of ongoing war in Vietnam and a peak in the Civil Rights movement, they devise a wild, impulsive theatrical trip through the history of Asians in America, from the ancestral railways of their forebears to the shameful legacy of Charlie Chan stereotypes, all in pursuit of establishing a brand new political identity they’ve decided to call “Asian America.” CHARLES FRANCIS CHAN JR.’S EXOTIC ORIENTAL MURDER MYSTERY is a harmless sing-song orientalist minstrel show that ends in a grotesque carnival of murder!!!

Afong Moy is fourteen years old when she’s brought to the United States from Guangzhou Province in 1834. Allegedly the first Chinese woman to set foot on U.S. soil, she has been put on display for the American public as “The Chinese Lady.” For the next half-century, she performs for curious white people, showing them how she eats, what she wears, and the highlight of the event: how she walks with bound feet. As the decades wear on, her celebrated sideshow comes to define and challenge her very sense of identity. Inspired by the true story of Afong Moy’s life, THE CHINESE LADY is a dark, poetic, yet whimsical portrait of America through the eyes of a young Chinese woman.

This introduction to Asian American theatre charts ten of the most pivotal moments in the history of the Asian diaspora in the USA and how those moments have been reflected in theatre. Designed for weekly use on Asian American theatre courses, ten chosen milestones move chronologically from the earliest contact between Japan and the West through the impact of the Vietnam War and the resurgent "yellow peril" hysteria of COVID-19. Each chapter emphasizes common questions of how racial identities and relationships are understood in everyday life as well as represented on the theatrical stage and in popular culture. Milestones are a range of accessible textbooks, breaking down the need-to-know moments in the social, cultural, political, and artistic development of foundational subject areas.

Inspired by a true story, Lloyd Suh's piercing and whimsical play draws a stark line from the voyeuristic gawking of 19th century audiences to the anti-Asian violence of today. The Chinese Lady tells the story of Afong Moy, a young woman involuntarily brought from Guangzhou to be exhibited as a curiosity in America in 1834. Forced to present a version of her Chinese identity that is "exotic and foreign and unusual," Afong, with the help--and hindrance--of her translator Atung, also reflects back her own unvarnished perceptions of America. We learn of our own emperor (Andrew Jackson), and our own strange customs, like corsets, and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The Chinese Lady is both a caustic examination of racism in America and a deeply American story of migration and self-discovery.

“An Asian face on stage is significant, and signifying. So as a writer I consider it my job to try and shape how and what it signifies.” 2023 Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh is a celebrated Chinese-American playwright who's work reveals how history can exact an emotional toll across culture and time. As a writer his work explores often ignored pivotal moments of Asian American history, drawing on a variety of forms and aesthetics, from historical realism and punk rock musicals to sci-fi plays and comedies for young audiences. In his first collection of plays Suh brings to life the story of America's first female Chinese immigrant and carnival attraction, Afong Moy as well as offering an intimate epic that follows an unlikely family's journey from rural Taishan to the wild west of California in the wake of the Chinese Exclusion Act and a meeting of two very different cartoonists, Gyo Fujikawa and Walt Disney, in 1942. Together they offer an expressive and formally inventive look at historical and personal events in a variety of theatrical forms. From New York Times Critic's Picks and the Pulitzer Prize final shortlist to intimate one-act dramas, Suh's work is revelatory, insightful and ripe for study and enjoyment in this inaugural collection, introduced by the author himself. The Far Country: “An artful examination of the emotional price of immigration. Directed with sensitivity & spirit by Eric Ting! The Far Country meditates on ethnicity & identity; an act, loving and sorrowful, of reclamation.” (NY Times) The Chinese Lady: "Lloyd Suh's play is a riff on the arrival of the real Afong Moy, possibly the first woman from China in the United States, and a lens on contemporary racism." (NY Times) Disney & Fujikawa; "The play is enlightening about the Internment of Japanese and Japanese Americans during World War II." (Theatre Times) The Heart Sellers: "Suh has a gift for dialogue, and his plays are richly rewarding. The Heart Sellers makes it easy to get swept up in the plight of its characters. It shouldn't surprise audiences if, at the end of the play, they feel part of these characters' lives." (Third Coast Review)

Over the past two decades, Singapore has advanced rapidly towards becoming a both a global city-state and a key nodal point in the international economic sphere. These developments have caused us to reassess how we understand this changing nation, including its history, population, and geography, as well as its transregional and transnational experiences with the external world. This collection spans several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences and draws on various theoretical approaches and methodologies in order to produce a more refined understanding of Singapore and to reconceptialize the challenges faced by the country and its peoples.

Like sharks, epidemic diseases always lurk just beneath the surface. This fast-paced history of their effect on mankind prompts questions about the limits of scientific knowledge, the dangers of medical hubris, and how we should prepare as epidemics become ever more frequent. Ever since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news cycles. From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic plague in Los Angeles to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the more recent SARS, Ebola, and Zika epidemics, the last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated pandemic alarms. Like man-eating sharks, predatory pathogens are always present in nature, waiting to strike; when one is seemingly vanquished, others appear in its place. These pandemics remind us of the limits of scientific knowledge, as well as the role that human behaviour and technologies play in the emergence and spread of microbial diseases.
