Ien Ang On not speaking Chinese
living between Asia and the West
Gedrukt boek
"Engaging with questions of identity in an age of globalization and diaspora, the author reflects upon tensions between 'Asia' and 'the West' at a national and global level, and considers the disparate meanings of 'Chineseness' in the contemporary world. The author then turns to 'the West,' exploring the paradox of Australia's identity as a 'Western' country in the Asian region, and tracing Australia's uneasy relationship with its Asian neighbours, from the White Australia policy to contemporary multicultural society. Finally, the discussion of 'Asia' and 'the West' to consider the social and intellectual space of the 'in-between,' is drawn together."
