        Occidentalism: A Theory of Counter-discourse on Post-Mao China

        Xiaomei Chen

        Lanham, MD Rowman & Littlefield 1995 2002

        ISBN 978-0847698752

      2. A groundbreaking study of Occidentalism from the perspective of post-Mao China, Chen approaches her material from a combined comparative literature/cultural studies perspective. Chen’s most provocative claim is that the appropriation of Occidentalism (western discourse) can have an emancipatory effect on non-western cultures such as China. See chapter 1 ‘Occidentalism and Counter-Discourse.’
