Abstract

The Summer 2014 issue of News and Reviews features films that engage with the complexities of individual and cultural identities in an increasingly globalized world. Hafu addresses the experiences of mixed-race individuals and families in contemporary Japan ("hafu" being the Japanese rendering of the English term "half," used to describe the growing number of Japanese residents with one non-Japanese parent). The Mosuo Sisters traces the lives of ethnic-minority sisters as they try to make a place for themselves in modern China. Somewhere Between tells the stories of four girls born in China and adopted into American families. All three films explore issues of cultural and ethnic difference, identity negotiation, and the quest for belonging in contemporary society.
