Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that there is a new, Sinological form of orientalism at work in the world. It has shifted from a logic of 'essential difference' to one of 'sameness' or general equivalence. "China" is now in a halting but inevitable process of becoming-the-same as the USA and the West.
