Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review is a
peer-reviewed, quarterly online journal that offers its
readers up-to-date research findings, emerging trends, and
cutting-edge perspectives concerning East Asian history and
culture from scholars in both English-speaking and Asian
language-speaking academic communities.
This page is a subset of texts derived from the three major
online Sourcebooks: Internet Ancient History Sourcebook,
Internet Medieval Sourcebook, Internet Modern History
Sourcebook along with added texts and web site indicators.
It covers the history and culture of China, Japan, and Korea
in premodern and modern periods.
The goal of this \visual sourcebook\ is to add to the
material teachers can use to help their students understand
Chinese history, culture, and society. It was not designed
to stand alone; we assume that teachers who use it will also
assign a textbook with basic information about Chinese
history.
The website provides some links to other organizations and
to online resources of potential interest to CHINOPERL
members, including
Association for Asian Performance (AAP), Association for
Chinese Music Research (ACMR), Chinese Storytelling, and
European Foundation for Chinese Music Research (CHIME).

technologies.
