This research paper: 5 pages in length. "It is entirely appropriate to the course of our own exploration that the first Western work devoted mainly to China should be evasive and problematic." And so sets the mood of Jonathan D. Spence's "The Chan's Great Continent, China in Western Minds," a compilation of historical works that reflect the Western – if not skewed – perspective of China's cultural, political and social existence. Composed of an Edward Saidian viewpoint, the student will want to note that Spence's book encompasses the fundamental basis upon which Said's entire argument is founded; indeed, there is no question that while delivered in an entertaining fashion, The Chan's Great Continent, China in Western Minds is rife with Saidian implications of Orientalism that help the reader understand the different between true Chinese history and Western exaggeration. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
