Contemporary Genres of Postcolonial Capitalism in Singapore

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"In Becoming Global Asia, Cheryl Narumi Naruse offers a lucid, much-needed theorization of 'postcolonial capitalism'--a mode of sovereignty simultaneously forged against empire and productive of neoliberal governance. An important and original contribution to debates around Global Asia and its cultural forms, with ramifications far beyond Singapore."--Jini Kim Watson, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, New York University "After Becoming Global Asia, criticism about cultural geopolitics and literary studies that disregards Singapore, or does not center Naruse's cogent analysis on the aesthetics of postcolonial capitalism, will be incomplete. This book demystifies the workings of Asian hypervisibility and the changing configurations of capital and art."--Mohan Ambikaipaker, author of Political Blackness in Multiracial Britain "If you've ever wondered about the dark side of the idea of 'Global Asia, ' read this book. But if you are looking for evidence that literature can be more than a mere tool of the state and capital, this book is also for you."--Colleen Lye, author of America's Asia: Racial Form and American Literature, 1893-1945
