Author Description

Taiwanese Face, Chinese Masks Is The First Book-length Study In English To Analyze Yang Mu's Literary Corpus Through A Postcolonial Lens. Tracing His Evolution From The 1960s To 2000, It Explores How His Poetry, Drama, And Translations Engage With Kuomintang Authoritarianism, Cultural Hybridity, And The Construction Of Taiwanese Identity. Drawing On Postcolonial Theory, Trauma Studies, And Taiwan's Cultural History, The Book Situates Yang's Work Between Sinocentric Nationalism And The Search For A Pluralistic Imaginary. Through Close Textual Analysis And Historical Contextualization, It Reveals How Yang Mobilizes Myth, Minor Aesthetics, And Intertextuality To Challenge Hegemonic Narratives. Contributing To Sinophone Studies, Taiwan Studies, And Comparative Literature, This Volume Offers A Critical Perspective On The Intersections Of Literature, Identity, And Memory In The Postcolonial Sinophone World-- Provided By Publisher.
