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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Buck, Pearl S.|q(Pearl Sydenstricker),|d1892-1973|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79026662|xCriticism and interpretation|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99005576|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001533 600 10 Buck, Pearl S.|q(Pearl Sydenstricker),|d1892-1973|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79026662|xPolitical and social views|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002011435|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001533 600 17 Buck, Pearl S.|q(Pearl Sydenstricker),|d1892-1973.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/32345 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Women political activists|zUnited States|vBiography|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010118896 |vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001533 650 0 Novelists, American|y20th century|vBiography|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108453|vCongresses. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001533 650 0 Novelists, American|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85092864|y20th century|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012476|xPolitical activity |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011434 |vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001533 650 7 Criticism and interpretation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1198648 650 7 Political and social views.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1353986 650 7 Women political activists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1178374 650 7 Novelists, American.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1039688 650 7 Political participation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1069386 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Haddad, John Rogers,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /nr2006009970|eeditor. 700 1 Cole, John J.
