Tiger Girl (Hu Nu): A Creative Memoir

Angebote / Angebote:

Cultural Writing. Memoir. Fiction. Cross Genre. Asian Studies. Born in the Year of the Tiger, Hu Nu, unwanted female child, is nearly given away as a one-year-old bride in a Chinese village. She grows up during the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, when traditional values are challenged by the politicized young, and nonconformity is repressed with brutal humiliation, examples of which she witnesses daily in her neighborhood and in her school. Using first-person and third-person narratives, Lien Chao captures thirty-five years of recent Chinese history through the gripping story of Hu Nu and her generation as they survive both political repression and outdated attitudes to women. Other titles from Lien Chao include BEYOND SILENCE: CHINESE CANADIAN LITERATURE IN ENGLISH and the bilingual poetry collection MAPLES AND THE STREAM, both available at SPD.
