>A ground-breaking work, Read the Cultural Other argues that non-Western
discourses cannot be contained in a 'general', 'universal', or 'integrated' model
of linguistic communication or discourse, but must be understood from a culturally
pluralist perspective. Proceeding from this standpoint, it offers a variety of
innovative analyses of China and Hong Kong's discourses on the decolonization of
the latter. Drawing on culturally different methods and local cultural context,
these studies reveal the discursive complexity, diversity, and forms of otherness
of Hong Kong and China.
