520    "How well do we really know Pearl S. Buck? Many think of 
       Buck solely as the Nobel laureate and Pulitzer Prize-
       winning author of The Good Earth, the novel that explained
       China to Americans in the 1930s. But Buck was more than a 
       novelist and interpreter of China. As the essays in Beyond
       The Good Earth show, she possessed other passions and 
       projects, some of which are just now coming into focus. 
       Who knew, for example, that Buck imagined and helped 
       define multiculturalism long before it became a widely 
       known concept? Or that she founded an adoption agency to 
       locate homes for biracial children from Asia? Indeed, few 
       are aware that she advocated successfully for a genocide 
       convention after World War II and was ahead of her time in
       envisioning a place for human rights in American foreign 
       policy. Buck's literature, often dismissed as simple 
       portrayals of Chinese life, carried a surprising degree of
       innovation as she experimented with the styles and 
       strategies of Modernist artists. In Beyond The Good Earth,
       scholars and writers from the United States and China 
       explore these and other often overlooked topics from the 
       life of Pearl S. Buck, positioning her career in the 
       context of recent scholarship on transnational 
       humanitarian activism, women's rights, and civil rights 
       activism"--|cProvided by publisher.
