Description
Asia as Method: Toward Deimperialization by Kuan-Hsing Chen is a thought-provoking analysis that reimagines cultural studies as a pressing global endeavor. Chen argues that the intellectual and subjective work of decolonization, stalled by the Cold War, must be resumed in order to address the ongoing legacies of imperialism. Chen contends that it is essential to consider the conduct, motives, and consequences of imperial histories on both sides of the imperial divide. This book charts a necessary new direction for cultural studies, building on Chen's influential work in Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and mainland China over the past fifteen years. By combining postcolonial studies, globalization studies, and Asian studies in Asia, Chen offers a fresh perspective on the dynamics of modern East Asian history. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complex relationships between culture, power, and imperialism.
