Description

Explore how English-speaking novelists and filmmakers represent China through a critical examination of cultural appropriation and linguistic performance in Anglo-American literature and cinema. This scholarly work investigates the century-old practice of English-language writers employing yellowface characterisation and artificial 'Chinglish' speech patterns to construct narratives about China from a purportedly Chinese perspective. The book deconstructs how Anglo writers rely on their native grammatical and conceptual frameworks to depict an alien land and its inhabitants, revealing the performative nature of foreign-sounding dialogue in Anglo-American fiction and visual media. A vital analysis for understanding how cultural otherness is constructed, packaged, and consumed within English-language storytelling traditions.

Key Features

Off-White examines yellowface characterisation and Chinglish linguistic performance across Anglo-American novels and films.

The book traces a century-old tradition of English-speaking writers impersonating Chinese perspectives whilst ventriloquising solely in English.

Bloomsbury Academic's critical study deconstructs how Anglo writers use their mother tongue's grammatical frameworks to represent China.

This work reveals the performative nature of foreign-sounding speech and cultural stereotypes in contemporary Anglo-American fiction and cinema.
