Duke University Press China in the World: Culture, Politics, and World Vision (Sinotheory)

Product Description null Review " China in the World is an exceptional work in Chinese Studies. Ban Wang shifts focus to China's place in the world and its imagination, presentation, and ideas for itself and the world. Wang's wide vision, deep reading, and consistent conversation between history and reality shapes the texture of this brilliant book."--Wang Hui, author of "China's Twentieth Century: Revolution, Retreat, and the Road to Equality" "What is China? How can the Chinese experience be brought to bear on world modernities? In China in the World, Ban Wang compellingly explores the rise and development of modern China in ever-changing cross-cultural contexts. It is an overarching engagement with the issues of self-perception, cultural representation, and transnational communication through the mediums of literature, cinema, and political treatise."--David Der-wei Wang, Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature and Comparative Literature, Harvard University
