Sinologism: An Alternative to Orientalism and Postcolonialism

By Ming Dong Gu

Book Overview

This book is a study of knowledge production about China and the Chinese civilization and as such　it is a critique of the ways in which knowledge　about the　Chinese civilization is produced.　It is not primarily intended as one that sets out to expose biases and prejudices against China, correct errors and misrepresentations of Chinese civilization, and dispute misperceptions and misinterpretations of Chinese materials, although all these　issues do occur　in the book. The overall objective is to get behind and beneath all these problems in order to uncover the motivations, mental frameworks, attitudes, and reasons for the abovementioned phenomena, which the author terms "Sinologism".
