This book delves into the evolving Southern discourse in Sinophone literature and explores its significance in the global context. Examining the Southern discourse not just within mainland China but also in the geographically and culturally southern regions, including Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Australia, this book analyzes various critical themes, including transnational migration, racial dynamics and stereotypes, gender politics, indigenous awareness, cultural hybridity, and global connections between the South and North. Challenging existing frameworks and providing innovative perspectives on Sinophone literature’s Southern discourse, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese literature, Asian literature, and comparative literature.
Praise for The Southern Discourse in Sinophone Literature: Moving Borders
"Cogently argued and theoretically textured, this path-breaking collection advances an incisive framework that pushes against the limits of Western-centric and China-centric conceptions of identity, marginality, hybridity, and global belonging. “The Sinophone South” coheres around a neglected terrain of geopolitical exclusion, upends dominant notions of cultural demarcation, and will forever redefine the literary gravitation of texts hailing from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, the Austronesian Pacific, Asian America, and beyond."
Howard Chiang, author of Transtopia in the Sinophone Pacific
