Kuan-Hsing Chen

Asia as Method

Toward Deimperialization

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Kuan-Hsing Chen has attempted something both familiar and unusual. His book takes the old slogan of decolonization seriously and evaluates its achievements in different Asian contexts. But it also calls for continuing efforts against imperialism and the cold war, acknowledging the force of nationalism as an ally but not reposing faith in it. "Asia as Method" signals a new direction in cultural studies."--Partha Chatterjee, Columbia University
