Reviews
'an important milestone in the evolution of Canadian literary studies. By showing us how the historical experience of a community figures as recurrent themes and tropes in the texts produced by its writers and artists, this book powerfully demonstrates the intertextuality of Chinese Canadian texts and why they can be grouped.'Beyond Silence is the first book-length study to attempt to construct the historical and cultural contexts of Chinese-Canadian writing, search out its lost texts, and build a theoretical ground for its reading. Especially powerful are its arguments that silence and silencing how been the strategic and ?or writing'aradoxical tropes of both Chinese and Chinese ?anadian culture.'

Synopsis
Literary Criticism/ Cultural Studies, newly available from SPD. BEYOND SILENCE is the first book-length study to attempt to construct the historical and cultural contexts of Chinese-Canadian writing, search out its lost texts, and build a theoretical ground for its reading. Especially powerful are its arguments that silence and silencing have been the strategic and--for writing--paradoxical tropes of both Chinese and Chinese-Canadian culture--Frank Davey, University of Western Ontario. The authors covered include Denise Chong, Sean Gunn, Winston Christopher Kam, Evelyn Lau, Sky Lee, Paul Yee, Fred Wah, Jim Wong-Chu, and others. Lien Chao, originally from mainland China, is a poet and critic., From unappreciated railway workers facing institutional racism and neglect in the last century to national cultural figures of the present, the Chinese, like other coloured peoples of Canada, have made great inroads into the mainstream, which in turn has adjusted its self-image to accommodate diversity.

The price of the books he sold me was so incredible, that I couldn't believe it until I received them. Books arrived in amazing condition (better than the photos conveyed) and the price and speed of shipping was the best I think I've had on eBay -- books arrived over 20 days before they were supposed to! Will buy from this seller again if I see an item I would like.
