Trajectories brings together cultural theorists not only from countries with a known historical critical tradition such as America; Canada and Australia but from the East-Asia locations of Hong Kong; Korea; Singapore; Taiwan; Philippines; India and Thailand. It constitutes a critical confrontation between the imperial and colonial co-ordinates of north and south; east and west. Without rejecting the Anglo-American practices of cultural studies; the contributors present critical cultural studies as an internationalist and decolonized project. Trajectories links critical energies together and charts future directions of the discipline. The contributors discuss subjects such as Japanese colonial discourse; cultural studies out of Europe; Chinese nationalism in the context of global capitalism; white panic; stories from East Timor; queer life in Taiwan and new social movements in Korea. The book ends with an interview with Stuart Hall.

Excellent Reference BookBy jadedflamesI have used this book for four college papers now; including my senior thesis. It is well researched; well illustrated; and fairly easy to read. I would recommend this to anyone interested in the history of drag and theatre.
