With its specific focus on Asia, this anthology constitutes an
excursion into the realm of transversality, or the state of
'postethnicity, ' which, the book argues, has come to characterize
the global culture of our times. Hwa Yol Jung brings together
prominent contemporary thinkers--including Thich Nhat Hanh, Edward
Said, and Judith Butler--to address this fundamental and important
aspect of comparative political theory. The book is divided into
three parts. Part One demythologizes Eurocentrism, deconstructing
the privilege of modern Europe as the world's cultural, scientific,
religious, and moral capital. Part Two traces the rise of Asian
thought and the process of East-West cultural hybridization, while
Part Three introduces the concept of the 'global citizen.' Jung's
anthology reveals a postmodern multiculturalism whose new
philosophical matrix transgresses the existing cultural and
intellectual typology to offer new understanding of today's
pluralistic world.
