This is the first English book among the Studies in Southeast Asian Chinese series. It presents a history of post-colonial and diasporic Chinese literatures in Singapore and Malaysia.
The 12 essays collected provide an in-depth study of the emergence of the new Chinese literatures by looking at the origins, themes, major authors and their works, and how creativity is closely connected with the experience of immigration and colonialization and the challenge of the post-colonial world.
Author: Wong Yoon Wah, National University of Singapore (Department of Chinese Studies) professor.
