Bücher der Reihe Comparative Perspectives on Modern Asia

An examination of whether Chinese writers of the Creation Society, a Chinese literary coterie, successfully appropriated shishosetsu, a quintessentially Japanese form of autobiographical narrative, into a form to be exploited for their own ends, especially political ends.

In this book, the author undertakes a postcolonial analysis of identities the Chinese state uses to confront world politics and globalization.
