Description
This anthology presents Sinophone studies as the study of cultures born of colonial and postcolonial influences. It brings together essays by leading scholars to address debates about Chineseness, introducing readers to key works in Tibetan, Malaysian, Taiwanese, French, Caribbean, and American Sinophone literatures.
By examining Sinitic-language communities in their historical contexts beyond the traditional notion of "China," this collection demonstrates the transformative power of multiculturalism and multilingualism. It offers a valuable resource for courses in Asian, postcolonial, empire, and ethnic studies, as well as world and comparative literature.
With its diverse range of perspectives and approaches, this anthology provides a rich understanding of Sinophone cultures at the crossroads of multiple empires.
