This definitive anthology casts Sinophone studies as the study
of Sinitic-language cultures born of colonial and postcolonial
influences. Essays by such authors as Rey Chow, Ha Jin, Leo Ou-fan
Lee, Ien Ang, Wei-ming Tu, and David Wang address debates
concerning the nature of Chineseness while introducing readers to
essential readings in Tibetan, Malaysian, Taiwanese, French,
Caribbean, and American Sinophone literatures. By placing Sinophone
cultures at the crossroads of multiple empires, this anthology
richly demonstrates the transformative power of multiculturalism
and multilingualism, and by examining the place-based cultural and
social practices of Sinitic-language communities in their
historical contexts beyond "China proper," it effectively refutes
the diasporic framework. It is an invaluable companion for courses
in Asian, postcolonial, empire, and ethnic studies, as well as
world and comparative literature.
