Smith shows how a complex blend of fear and freedom produced an environment in which Chinese women writers could articulate dissatisfaction with the overtly patriarchal and imperialist nature of the Japanese cultural agenda while working in close association with colonial institutions. The first book in English on women's history in twentieth-century Manchuria, Resisting Manchukuo adds to a growing literature that challenges traditional understandings of Japanese colonialism.Contemporary Chinese studies.Women authors, ChineseChinaManchuriaBiographyWomen authors, Chinese20th centuryBiographyChinese literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismWomen and literatureChinaManchuriaHistory20th centurySino-Japanese War, 1937-1945WomenChinaManchuriaManchuria (China)History1931-1945Women authors, ChineseWomen authors, ChineseChinese literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Women and literatureHistorySino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Women895.1/51099287Smith Norman(Norman Dennis)1538911MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777748303321Resisting Manchukuo3789408UNINA
