Description for Modernity with a Cold War Face: Reimagining the Nation in Chinese Literature Across the 1949 Divide
Hardback. The 1949 birth of the People's Republic of China divided the nation into many political entities, displacing millions. Examining a body of understudied literary and cultural output in mainland China and elsewhere after World War II, the author investigates how writers responded to these shifts to shape a new Chinese subjectivity in their works. Series: Harvard East Asian Monographs. Num Pages: 408 pages. BIC Classification: 1FPC; DSBH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 160 x 228 x 29. Weight in Grams: 674.

Examining a body of heretofore understudied literary and cultural production in mainland ... Read more
