To give you my complete and honest review about this book, I’d have to say that for me it was really boring, at times it was hard to follow, and the way that it’s written was just weird.

The Americans passed the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act because the Chinese were working 2x as hard for half the pay. According to Document A: Anti-Chinese Play…

Analysis of Hsuan Tsang’s Citation on Hindu Cleanliness Hsuan Tsang's accounts of India provide an abundance of insight into the culture of Hindu society during the seventh century. What makes his writing so unique is that it is historical documentation from an outsider’s perspective, this is helpful in understanding the importance of the details recorded because it contrasts with what the normal culture of Hsuan Tsang would have been accustomed to in China.

Why does Jun'ichirō Tanizaki label his compilation of essays as an appraisal of shadows? What influenced his writing choices and inspired his word choice? The title is originally 陰翳礼讃 which in Japanese translates to Shadow of Praise and in Chinese translates to Shine. However, when one explores into the anatomy of those original words in Chinese; 陰 translates to Yin which is a Chinese philosophy characterized as feminine, sustaining, earthly, dark, cold, and opposite to the Yang philosophy; 翳…
