"A staged readers theatre style performance of Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" takes us on a journey from pre-World War II China to modern day United States through the words and lives of four mothers ("The Joy Luck Club") and their very westernized daughters. Join us as East meets West and cultures sometimes collide in this heartwarming tale of love and the constant need to adapt in order to keep that love alive."
The performance is going to be at four different Hawaii libraries this month, is sponsored by a ton of arts endowments (including the Manoa Outreach College) and looks way cool! Check here for dates, times, locations & performer info.

Guest Editors: Petrice Flowers, Jungmin Seo

How are these flows of people and ideas as well as the institutions to manage then, impeded or assisted by the state and other social, political, and economic institutions? What does improved knowledge and understanding of these flows contribute to how one defines an indigenous person or community? What role do global technologies play in linking migrant and diasporic communities to each other and to the homeland? Please see the attached call for papers for a more comprehensive explanation of this three-volume special series and for instructions for submitting abstracts.
