Oil for the Lamps of China
On the original edition . . . "Of amazing scope, and a richness and integrity difficult to convey." New York Times"What Mrs. [Pearl] Buck has done for the Chinese peasant in The Good Earth and Sons, Mrs. Hobart has done for the Chinese and the American trader in Oil for the Lamps of China. Hester & Stephen, Kin and Ho are unforgettable characters, but greatest of all, of course, is the Oil Company to which justice is excellently done. Mrs. Buck might have created Kin and Ho but only Mrs. Hobart - out of her tragically intimate knowledge - could have created Stephen and oiled the portrait of 'the Company'." Harley Farnsworth MacNair, Professor of Chinese History, University of Chicago
Framing Asian Studies
This book explores the interconnection between geopolitical context and the ways this context frames our knowledge about Asia, highlighting previously neglected cause-effect relations. It also examines how various knowledge institutions promote and shape Asian Studies. The authors seek to explain why Asian Studies and its subfields developed in the way they did, and what the implications of these transformations might be on intellectual and political understandings of Asia. The book not only builds on the current debates on the decolonization and de-imperialization of knowledge about Asia; it also proposes a more multifaceted view rather than just examining the impact of the West on the framing of Asian Studies.
