Abstract
Abstract:An essay about life after the Tiananmen Square massacre in June of 1989. Through recollection, Luo examines the Tel Aviv protest that coincidentally occurred the same day of the massacre; the staged sit-ins in Guangzhou two days after; and the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of police officers in America twenty-seven years later. In that time, Luo had moved to New York to meet her parents, protested for the rights of garment workers' rights in Chinatown, and had a child.
期刊介绍:
MR also has a history of significant criticism of W.E.B. Dubois and Nathaniel Hawthorne. An Egypt issue, published just after 9/11 on social, national, religious, and ethnic concerns, encouraged readers to look beyond stereotypes of terrorism and racism. As part of the run-up to its Fiftieth birthday, MR published a landmark issue on queer studies at the beginning of 2008 (Volume 49 Issue 1&2). The Winter issue was a commemoration of Grace Paley, which is going to be followed by an anniversary issue, art exhibition, and poetry reading in April of 2009.
