Sinologism: An Alternative to Orientalism and Postcolonialism

"I am pleased to write a preface for Professor Ming Dong Gu's distinguished book, Sinologism: An alternative to Orientalism and Postcolonialism. It is an honor to have been asked to do this. Sinologism is an extremely important and timely book...Sinologism is, in scope, timely importance, and conceptual originality, Gu's most distinguished book so far. It is the product of many years of research and thinking...I urge all who read this preface to hurry on to read the book itself. It is a wonderfully exciting work of scholarship and analysis. Sinologism is a major contribution to China-Western Studies and cross-cultural studies. It is a superbly learned and wide-ranging book. Its highly original theoretical paradigm is persuasively cogent. The book will be constructively useful as an alternative to Orientalism and postcolonialism." - from the preface by Prof. J. Hillis Miller.
