AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Focusing on Ouyang Yu's The Eastern Slope Chronicle, this essay explores 'the extent to which the concept of 'Asian Australian' reflects Asian and Australian attitudes towards cultural and political citizenship. It argues that Asian Australian cultural production is not only symptomatic of deep ambivalences surrounding cultural and political citizenship, but that it is also subject to constant re-negotiation with historical and prevailing attitudes about race and culture' (author's abstract).
