Featuring analyses of rarely studied writers on post-1949 China, including Jan Wong, Jock T. Wilson, Peter Hessler, Leslie T. Chang, Hill Gates, and Yi-Fu Tuan, Re-Orienting China demonstrates the transformative power of travel, as it changes our preconceived notions of home and abroad. Drawing on her own experience as a Chinese expat living in Canada, Leilei Chen embraces the possibility of productive cross-border relationships that are critical in today's globalized world. "An intriguing contribution to research. Postcolonial studies is in the process of exploring ways to get past the binary opposition of self/other, and books like Re-Orienting China are an important part of this project."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Travelers' writings, American $z China $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Americans $z China $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Canadians $z China $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a China $x Description and travel. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024006 651 0 $a China $x Social life and customs $y 1949- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024193 651 0 $a China $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024101 650 5 $a Travelers' writings, Canadian (English) $z China $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807488 650 7 $a Canadians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00845200 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 650 7 $a Travelers' writings, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155721 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a Since 1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 1 $a Chen, Leilei, 1970-, author. $t Re-orienting China. $w (CaOONL)20169047571 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213021939.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F22F35A033A11E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
