Reading Asia Through the Eyes of Asia
ASIA: A Magazine of Asian Literature, the first quarterly literary magazine featuring literatures and articles by pan-Asian writers and thinkers, is the leading regional forum for the creation and exchange of public discourses among Asians. Since its publication in summer 2006, ASIA’s aim has consistently been to foster inter-Asian dialogues and discussion and to become the rain forest of literary imagination, teeming with explosive energies, where people of all Asian countries exchange their viewpoints on literature, art and society and share them with citizens of the other parts of the world. ASIA presents various perspectives on pressing Asian and global issues, often featuring alternative voices rarely heard through the mainstream Western media and publishing world and is a place in which Asians read Asia through Asian eyes. ASIA offers a space in which cultural diversity in Asia is respected and united in equality and solidarity.
