University of British Columbia Press Diasporic Chineseness after the Rise of China: Communities and Cultural Production (Contemporary Chinese Studies)

As China rose to its position of global superpower, Chinese groups in the West watched with anticipation and trepidation. In this volume, international scholars examine how artists, writers, filmmakers, and intellectuals from the Chinese diaspora represented this new China to global audiences. The chapters, often personal in nature, focus on the nexus between the political and economic rise of China and the cultural products this period produced, where new ideas of nation, identity, and diaspora were forged. Book Description Leading scholars analyze the vibrant and remarkable work of Chinese diasporic writers and artists during China’s meteoric rise to global superpower.
