Research Interests：

  1. Literature and Culture of Southeast Asia (particularly the Philippines)
  2. Chinese Overseas in Southeast Asia
  3. Nationalism and Regionalism in East Asia

Research Overview：

    Xi Yang YangTCQ-cover-finalMy recent writings have dealt mainly with literary and cinematic representations of Chineseness in the Philippines, and on the cultural politics and implications of the rise of China for Southeast Asia and East Asia more generally. I co-edited an anthology of literary writings on the ‘querida’ (mistress) in the Philippines. My book on the Chinese in the Philippines is due to be published in the first quarter of 2014. I have started a new project on the Filipino elite, and am collaborating on a book on the recent history of region-making in East and Southeast Asia with Takashi Shiraishi.
