dc.description.abstractMalaysian Crossings: Place and Language in the Worlding of Modern Chinese Literature. By Cheow Thia Chan. New York: Columbia University Press, 2023. 298 pp. Malaysian Crossings by Cheow Thia Chan is a critical addition to the growing body of scholarship in Sinophone studies focusing on Mahua literature. Chan offers a nuanced critique to challenge the field’s prevailing perspectives articulated from academic contexts beyond Mahua/Malaysia, advocating for the acknowledgement of the oft-overlooked “lineage of local self-understandings” (p. 18).en
