"BEYOND SILENCE is the first book-length study to attempt to
construct the historical and cultural contexts of Chinese-Canadian
writing, search out its lost texts, and build a theoretical ground for its
reading. Especially powerful are its arguments that silence and silencing
have been the strategic and--for writing--paradoxical tropes of both
Chinese and Chinese-Canadian culture"
