Discourses on Pan-Asianism from literary perspectives are markedly absent in the academic field. Asia Travels: Pan-Asian Cultural Discourses and Diasporic Asian Literature/s in English offers fresh perspectives on this theme. The book is about travel, dwelling in travel, and sharing transnational solidarity with fellow travellers from Asia. It speaks of the stories and histories of cultural links between individuals and communities. It analyses Pan-Asian discourses of Sun Yat-sen, Okakura Tenshin, Rabindranath Tagore and other critical thinkers. It explores how Asian diasporic experiences are represented in the literary works of Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Monica Sone, Hisaye Yamamoto, Ranbir Sidhu, Bapsi Sidhwa, Khaled Hosseini, Bharati Mukherjee, Jhumpa Lahiri, Manjushree Thapa and in Asian diasporic anthologies.
