Whilst some questionable representations of the Chinese community arose throughout the late 1990s, with titles such as \u003cem\u003eLa fuente amarilla\/The Yellow Fountain\u003c\/em\u003e (dir. Miguel Santesmases, 1999) and \u003cem\u003eTorrente: El brazo tonto de la ley\/Torrente: the Dumb Arm of the Law\u003c\/em\u003e (dir. Santiago Segura, 1998) courting controversy, a roster of more recent texts have started to portray the various complex attributes of Chinese citizens in Spain. In the first comprehensive study of representations of Chinese cultures on Spanish screens, Delphi May examines the complex identity politics at play in a number of Spanish films and television programmes, defining crucial points wherein acts of kindness, tolerance, rejection, and violence all play a vital part in offering an enlightening portrait of contemporary relations between Spanish and Chinese citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelphi May completed her PhD in Hispanic Studies in 2020, which was awarded by the University of Exeter. She was runner up in the Annual AHGBI Publication Prize, which has enabled her to publish her doctoral thesis as a monograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Delphi May\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839540672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839540677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.50d","brand":"Delphi May","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874602660095,"sku":"9781839540677","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hybrid-acts-delphi-may-9781839540677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
