Description

Explore the complex relationship between Anglo-American culture and Chinese representation in this academic study from Bloomsbury Academic. Off-White: Yellowface and Chinglish examines how English-speaking novelists and filmmakers attempt to tell stories of China from a Chinese perspective. This work investigates the methods used to maintain appearances of pseudo-Sino immanence while using the English language to ventriloquize other cultures. The text analyzes a century-old pattern where Anglo writers and readers engage in the impersonation and dubbing of Chinese identities. It looks at how these creators lean on the grammatical and conceptual frameworks of their own mother tongue to represent an alien land. By studying how off-white or yellow-ish characters and foreign-sounding speech are performed in fiction and visual media, this book provides a deep look into the cultural dynamics of Anglo-American storytelling and the representation of Chinese subjects.
