Jonathan D. Spence's "The Chan's Great Continent": Edward Saidian Viewpoint?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. "It is entirely appropriate to the course of our own exploration that the first Western work devoted mainly to China should be evasive and problematic." And so sets the mood of Jonathan D. Spence's "The Chan's Great Continent, China in Western Minds," a compilation of historical works that reflect the Western – if not skewed – perspective of China's cultural, political and social existence. Composed of an Edward Saidian viewpoint, the student will want to note that Spence's book encompasses the fundamental basis upon which Said's entire argument is founded; indeed, there is no question that while delivered in an entertaining fashion, The Chan's Great Continent, China in Western Minds is rife with Saidian implications of Orientalism that help the reader understand the different between true Chinese history and Western exaggeration.

Ruiz's From Out of the Shadows effectively illustrates how each author is quite successful at telling tales of cultural struggle, immigration, racism & discrimination and the inherent commitment that accompanies assimilation. In portraying the characterization of these various bonds and relationships, the authors' quintessential components draw together the very basic qualities that exist within the confines of Mexican-American and Asian-American cultures. While there are, indeed, a handful of similarities with regard to the two very diverse concepts of conventional culture and mainstreaming into another, each author illustrates how there exist many more differences that serve to cause friction in direct relation to respect for one's natural heritage, with particular focus upon women.
