520 |a "Examines the growing prominence within Chinese-language literature of ecological perspectives from China's border cultures. Drawing on eco-literature by Mongolian, Tibetan, Taiwanese Indigenous, Yi, Kazakh, Uyghur, and Han writers, Visser argues that while Beijing promotes China's harmonious ecological civilization, it also strategically appropriates indigenous perspectives in eco-literature to strengthen control over its population. Some of the texts under consideration are little known, particularly those from Xinjiang, but many are widely popular and studied, like the 2004 novel Wolf Totem, which has been translated into more than 30 languages, or Alai's Red Poppies, arguably the best-known Chinese-language novel by a Tibetan writer"--  |c Provided by publisher.
