Description

Re-Orienting China moves beyond the imperialist implications of the travel writing genre, and instead shows how travel writing can function as a genre of cultural translation. Addressing the transformation that results from interacting with Chinese otherness, Leilei Chen shows how being exposed to cultural difference may engender a genuine interest in the other and spark a rediscovery of self. With close readings of writings by Jan Wong, Jock T. Wilson, Peter Hessler, Leslie T. Chang, Hill Gates, and Yi-Fu Tuan - all travellers to post-1949 China - the book acknowledges the separation between home and abroad but also looks for connections and commonalities. In the context of today's globalized world, Re-Orienting China embraces the possibility of productive engagement with Chinese otherness and imagines what balanced relationships across borders can look like.
