Mao, LuMing, authorUtah State University Press, publisher2007-01-032007-01-032006http://hdl.handle.net/10217/87897Includes bibliographical references and index.LuMing Mao offers an important discussion of the rhetoric of Chinese American speakers, which has wide implications for the teaching of writing in English and for our understanding of cross-cultural influences in discourse. Recent scholarships tends to explain such influences as contributing to language hybridity - an advance over the traditional deficit model. But Mao suggests that the "hybridity" approach is perhaps too arid or sanitized, missing rich nuances of mutual exchange, resistance, or even subversion.--Book jacket.Introduction: thinking through paradoxes -- Opening topics: reading Chinese fortune cookie -- Face to face: Chinese and European American -- Indirection versus directness: a relation of complementarity -- Terms of contact reconfigured: ("shu" or "reciprocity") encountering individualism -- From classroom to community: Chinese American rhetoric on the ground -- Closing comment: Chinese fortune cookie as a topic again.born digitalbooksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
