Exploring Asian Voices explores literary and media texts suitable for Asian Studies within the secondary English Curriculum.
Texts about Asian places, people, events and traditions give historical information as well as how their culture has been represented over time.
Asian poets, writers and film makers often examine issues of migration, exile or the refugee experience and the traumatic emotional impact it can have on those who experience it first-hand.
Similarly, Asian memoirs, autobiographies and diaries frequently deal with the hardships of coping with war, poverty and social injustice. The voices that are heard can be confronting but are often also inspirational in their desire to promote social and cultural reform and freedom.
