Produktbeschreibung

"June Yip forcefully argues why and how modern Taiwanese literature and cinema matter for our understanding of an array of modern and postmodern issues ranging from national identity to cultural politics and from an indigenous search for roots to global circulation of cultural and economic capital."--David Der-wei Wang, author of "The Monster That Is History: History, Violence, and Fictional Writing in Twentieth-Century China"
