The plethora of historical, literary, and artistic representations inspired by this event are critical to our understanding of the diversified, often contested, interpretations of contemporary China. Li Li's critical examination of autobiographic, filmic and fictional presentations in Memory, Fluid Identity, and the Politics of Remembering : The Representations of the Chinese Cultural Revolution in English-speaking Countries demonstrates that 'memory works' not only reflect memories of those who lived through that period, but memories about their past, and, more importantly, about their identity remapping and artistic negotiation in a cross-cultural environment"--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Chinese -- English-speaking countries -- Ethnic identity Memory -- Social aspects -- English-speaking countries Memory -- Political aspects -- English-speaking countries Chinese in literature.
