Feminism and Global Chineseness: The Cultural Production of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zhu, Aijun, PUBLISHER: Cambria Press, This book deconstructs the controversy of globally located Chinese women authors, including Maxine Hong Kingston (America), Wei Hui (Mainland China), Li Ang (Taiwan), and Li Bihua (Hong Kong). It vividly shows how these authors are trapped in a dilemma between feminism, nationalism, and neocolonialism complicated by the powerful influences of global popular culture. This book not only engages in the much debated major issues such as gender, nation, narration and globalization, but more profoundly, it also points out the cultural and political significance of literary and cultural criticism, a much neglected area of research. The author's detailed examination of Chinese nationalism from the perspectives of gender and globalization shows her sharp awareness of the changing geopolitical mapping of Chineseness. Critics of Chinese literature and culture will benefit from this work in this era of social and political changes. "The book is an ambitious, original, and provocative study of modern and contemporary Chinese literature and culture. this book brings a fresh approach to the developing field of Chinese feminist studies and to the field of Chinese literary criticism." - Professor Jianmei Liu, University of Maryland, College Park

The Future of Global Oil Production: Facts, Figures, Trends

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Blanchard, Roger D., PUBLISHER: McFarland & Company, As the demand for oil and natural gas continues to increase, accurate forecasting of future production capabilities becomes increasingly important?and remains disturbingly out of reach. Though oil reserve data are published in such industry publications as Oil & Gas Journal and World Oil, these data come from government information that is often woefully incomplete, hopelessly optimistic, or simply outdated. Complicating the picture is the fact that different countries define ?oil reserves? in different ways. This work brings data together in a coherent study of the future of global oil production and its implications. An examination of U.S. capacity is followed by a look at the production futures of each of the major oil-producing regions: Western Europe, Mexico and Canada, South and Central America, Asia, the Middle East, the former Soviet Union, and Africa. Alternatives to oil are also discussed. With world oil production projected to peak in approximately and natural gas production in , this is a timely look at an increasingly vital global issue. Heavily illustrated with charts and tables.
