Opis

Sinology, the academic study of China, is in flux. What was once a colonial science is today being reshaped as a global discourse. New approaches are being explored. Traditional patterns that have often led to the exclusion of valuable knowledge are being challenged. This book seeks to foster a provocative debate, putting forward the motion that it is high time that Sinology was rediscovered as a more inclusive field of study. It also sheds light on issues that have remained marginalized for far too long-as blind spots, as non-topics, as forgotten narratives.
