Recenzii
"Fearless as well as serious, Kuan-Hsing Chens works have always headed for the most challenging questions posed to contemporary criticism and have never resiled from the task of suggesting answers."--Meaghan Morris, Lingnan University (Hong Kong) and University of Sydney (Australia) Kuan-Hsing Chen is one of a handful of scholars leading the whole project of internationalizing cultural studies--an endeavor which has positively and irrevocably transformed the cultural studies project itself.--Stuart Hall, Professor Emeritus, The Open UniversityAsia as Method is a book of genuinely international importance. It is a significant intellectual achievement and a major breakthrough for the definition and legitimation of the disciplinary practice of cultural studies worldwide.--Meaghan Morris, Lingnan University (Hong Kong) and University of Sydney (Australia)Kuan-Hsing Chen has attempted something both familiar and unusual. His book takes the old slogan of decolonization seriously and evaluates its achievements in different Asian contexts. But it also calls for continuing efforts against imperialism and the cold war, acknowledging the force of nationalism as an ally, but not reposing faith in it. Asia as Method signals a new direction in cultural studies.--Partha Chatterjee, Columbia University
