| Summary |
"While Said focused on the perceptions and stereotypes of the Near East 'Oriental' in England, France and the United States, most of these essays study the decentering interplay between 'peripheral' areas of the Third World, 'semiperipheral' areas (Spain and Portugal since the second part of the seventeenth century), and marginalized social groups of the globe (Chicanos, African Americans, and Filipino Americans). They explore, for example, how China and the Far East in general are imagined and represented in Latin America and the Caribbean, or how ethnic minorities in the United States, such as Chicanos and African Americans, incorporate Filipino characters in their novels or creolize their music with Chinese influences."--Provided by publisher. |
