East by South
The essays in East by South - which range across such media as literature, music, film and fashion - do more than simply examine contemporary and historic Australasian perceptions of China and the Chinese. They also discuss ways in which people of Chinese descent have made significant contributions to the history of both countries. This is the first book to compare both Australian and New Zealand orientalism and its various alternatives.
