This book explores the role of Chineseness or lo chino in the
production of Chilean national identity. It does so by discussing
the many voices, images, and intentions of diverse actors who
contribute to stereotyping or problematizing Chineseness in Chile.
The authors argue that in general, representing and perceiving
China or Chineseness as the Other is part of a broader cultural and
political strategy for various stakeholders to articulate Chile as
either a Western country or one that is becoming-Western. The
authors trace the evolution of the symbolic role that China and
Chineseness play in defining racial, gendered, and class aspects of
Chilean national social imaginary. In doing so, they challenge a
common idea that Chineseness is a stable signifier and the
simplistic perception of the ethnic Chinese as the unassimilable
foreigner within the nation. In response, the authors call for a
postmigrant approach to understanding identities and Chilean
society beyond stubborn Orient-Occident and us-them dichotomies.
