Daniel Vukovich: China and orientalism: Western knowledge production and the P.R.C.

Abstract

This is a review of a book by Vukovich (2012) on the Orientalising practices of Western scholarship on China. The author of the book under review considers much of the latter scholarship to be biased and based on a myth of “becoming-the-same.” The writer of the book review introduces the book, chapter-by-chapter, and critically evaluates it.
