Pearl S. Buck's portrayal of Chinese peasants was the first
literary representation, in China as well as in America, of the
majority of the Chinese population. Her work changed the image of
the Chinese people in the American mind--ultimately facilitating
the 1943 repeal of the 61-year-old Chinese Exclusion Act and
arousing Americans' support of the Chinese resistance against the
Japanese aggression in World War II. From a multicultural point of
view, Chinese scholar Kang Liao analyzes Buck's phenomenal success
and the ensuing neglect of her works by American critics. Liao's
insights into Buck's function as one of the few writers from an age
of Eurocentrism who shed light on a new age of multiculturalism
will be of interest to both students and scholars interested in
race, class, and gender issues.
