a-side-of-rice: 九份，台灣 ｜ 06.2016 Today, A Side of Rice is happy to announce the publication of Issue #00: Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Our theme for this issue is the politics of travel. Inside, you’ll find personal accounts, musings, photography, poetry, and fiction that document and investigate the movement of the Asian diaspora across time and space. Click here to start reading on Issuu! Thanks to everyone who has supported and submitted to the project so far. We’d especially like to thank the contributors we got to collaborate with for this issue – Rajani Gudlavalleti, Eunbi C Kim, and CaL. Please check out their links for more of their work! There’s not much that ties the Asiam community (if it can be called that) together. Our foundational act of transnational, transethnic solidarity happened over thirty years ago, and since then the moniker of Asian American has been used inaccurately as a cultural, rather than a political statement. But in reality, there is very little that ties Asian Americans together save for our ethnic origins in the continent of Asia. We have widely varying interests, widely varying settlement histories, widely varying dynamics with the society we live in. But our one commonality––the reason I set the theme for our first ever issue as travel––is displacement. Someone, somewhere along the line decided to move across an ocean. It could be you, your parent, or your great great great grandparent six generations back. But this is the thing that we hold in common. (from the Editor’s Note) If you enjoyed our zine, please like and reblog! It helps get the word out about our little venture, and we would be eternally grateful. ❤️ -- source link
