"MUAE...[goes] beyond simple attempts to elevate the 'outsider' and challenge[s] assumptions about the individual's relations to his or her culture.... The works...are of such high quality and unique voice as to cast light and shadows on each other while standing separately."
--Library Journal, "The Best Magazines of 1995"

A startling remix of innovative creative writing, controversial dialogues, provocative artwork, and investigative journalism, MUAE is Kaya's annual publication of Asian and Asian diasporic culture and society. "Muae" literally means "without hindrance"--a Korean Buddhist term that describes the interdependent relationship of all things, where every entity and event becomes enmeshed in an open net of transcultural collaboration, conflict, shifts, and reflection.
