Description

Book Synopsis
This book examines the discrepancies between various Western representations of China and the reality of China. It inquires into the cultural, historical, and political contexts within which such discrepancies arise, and it points out the distortion of reality in the tendency toward cultural dichotomies, the tendency to view China as the conceptual opposite of the West.

Trade Review
"An important, thought-provoking work which raises questions that all comparativists and Asianists should be asking themselves. It will well repay reading by specialists in both fields." -- Bulletin of the Institute of Chinese Literature & Philosophy
