These images were also perpetuated onto Chinese women, thus, also sexualizing them as all prostitutes.

    1841 Words  | 8 Pages

    The novel’s fictional version of China is sometimes an unfairly bleak portrayal of the country, and its most shocking scenes cohere with false Orientalist narratives of Western imperialism and Asian inferiority.
