Visuality and Identity: Sinophone Articulations Across the Pacific (Asia Pacific Modern) Book

Shu-mei Shih inaugurates the field of Sinophone studies in this vanguard excursion into sophisticated cultural criticism situated at the intersections of Chinese studies, Asian American studies, diaspora studies, and transnational studies.
