On Not Speaking Chinese
- Bagikan:
Leading cultural thinker Ien Ang engages with urgent questions of identity in an age of globalization and diaspora. Ang reflects upon tensions between `Asia' and `the West' at a national and global level, and considers the disparate meanings of `Chineseness' in the contemporary world. Ang then turns to `the West', exploring the paradox of Australia's identity as a `Western' country in the Asian region, and tracing Australia's uneasy relationship with its Asian neighbors, from the White Australia policy to contemporary multicultural society. Finally, Ang draws together her discussion of `Asia' and `the West' to consider the social and intellectual space of the `in-between', arguing for a theorizing not of `difference' but of `togetherness' in contemporary societies.
