'British Chinese Writings: Subjectivity, Identity and Hybridity' is a study of British Chinese literature. As Dr Hsiao points out, investigation of British Chinese writings is a little studied area; however, since the political, social and historical factors affecting this group of literature are unique, British Chinese publications deserve close examination.
