Among the White Moon Faces. An Asian-American Memoir of Homelands / Shirley Geok-lin Lim.

Shirley Geok-lin Lim's memoir is a courageously frank and deeply affecting account of a Malaysian girlhood and of the making of an Asian-American woman, writer, and teacher. With insight, candor, and grace, Lim reveals the material poverty and violence of her childhood in colonized and then war-torn Malaysia after her father's business fails and her mother abandons the family, leaving Shirley to travel the road toward womanhood alone. Lim's decision in 1968 to leave Malaysia and the man she loves for a Fulbright Scholarship at Brandeis University marks a crucial turning point in her life. Grappling to secure a place for herself in the United States, Lim is often caught between the stifling traditions of the old world and the harsh challenges of the new. But throughout her journey, she is sustained by her warrior spirit. Very gradually, and often painfully, she moves from a numbing alienation as a dislocated Asian woman to a new sense of identity as an Asian American woman: professor, wife, mother of a son she determines to raise as an American, and, above all, an impassioned writer.

 "飲食文化交流，是中西文明交流互鑒的重要內容。古今往來，許多西方使節、傳教士、商人、學者赴華，帶來異域飲食，同時也將大量中華飲食文化信息通過海、陸絲綢之路傳回歐洲。歐洲社會對中國飲食的了解由古代的想象傳說，逐漸清晰、完整，變成系統性的知識，最終在18世紀掀起了以中國飲食文化為代表的“中國熱”。

本書利用歐洲有關漢學著述、商業情報、傳教書信等資料，輔以90余幅珍貴館藏圖片，從古代歐洲的中國飲食想象傳說、大航海時代的片段式認知、早期來華傳教士的親歷見聞、17世紀歐洲的科學研究，以及18世紀歐洲的“中國熱”等方面，講述中國飲食文化是如何通過海上絲綢之路傳播到西方以及在西方知識系統中產生了怎樣的中國影響，西方社會不同群體又是如何看待中國飲食文化。" Vendor's description.
