Apart from pursuing the issue of the continued fear and stereotyping of the Chinese in popular writing, the second part introduces a new phenomenon of literary Sinophilism that dichotomises the representation of the Chinese and examines the image of Chinese women. Part three focuses on the problem of politicisation that polarises literary attitudes towards the Chinese, discusses Australia’s ‘Asian writing’ as an extension of colonial writing that continues to other the Chinese, and explores multicultural writing as an alternative means of representation.
