War, Trauma and Diasporic Identity in Vyvyane Loh's Breaking the Tongue
Japan's involvement in the Second World War offers provocative narrative material for authors who write about the cultural politics of race under wartime conditions, such as the internment experience of Japanese Americans in the United States and the mass killings of Chinese (Operation Sook Ching), suspected of anti‐Japanese sentiments in Singapore. In 2004, Malaysian‐born Chinese American author Vyvyane Loh published a historical novel, Breaking…
China, Malaysia, and millennial diasporic identity in Tash Aw's The Face and Five Star Billionaire
Chinese diasporic literature is alert to China’s rise as a major political and economic power in the 21st century. In the novel Five Star Billionaire (2013), Chinese Malaysian author Tash Aw focuses on the megacity of Shanghai to capture China’s economic and cultural vibrancy in the new millennium. Aw’s novel shows that he is not only excited but also trepidatious about the implications of 21st-century China’s emergence as a superpower. In his no…
Patriarchal Authority and the Southeast Asian Chinese Diaspora in Shirley Geok-lin Lim’s Passports and Other Lives
In Anglophone diasporic Chinese literature, father figures represent forms of authority that both daughters and sons need to grapple with to find answers to questions of identity. In this literature, paternal figures may be marginalized to thematize mother-daughter relationships and identify mothers as an important source of cultural transmission and empowerment. Or they may be viewed as the ancestors of a new diasporic community in a new land. F…
Introduction: The English Renaissance, Orientalism, and the Idea of Asia—Framing the Issues
Critical readings of the English Renaissance have recently shown a marked increase in interest in the literary representation of foreign lands, an interest that can be traced in part to the influence of postcolonial criticism. Many of these readings have focused their attention on topics of nationhood, English responses to foreign cultures and geopolitical spaces, the emergence of expansionist dreams and ambitions, and the structures of early mod…

Figuring Justice: Imperial Ideology and the Discourse of Colonialism in Book V of The Faerie Queene and A View of the Present State of Ireland
Edmund Spenser is a vocal spokesman for the colonization of Ireland. In A View of the Present State of Ireland, he provides one of the most sustained imperialist articulations in Elizabethan England. And in Book V of The Faerie Queene, he promulgates a vision of justice that is necessary for containing individual and social dissent, as well as for consolidating monarchical authority. Spenser wants a similar form of relentless justice applied to c…
