Does Howe create an imagined history and heritage - postmodern/ postcolonial/ poststructuralist view?
Howe's writing mimics a postmodern form; her narration is historical and reflective, and she reflects her own life experiences as she accounts her journey through China.
She has British values due to her upbringing mainly in the UK, but she also has Chinese values taught to her by her mother. In this modern world, that's not uncommon
Howe has aspects of self-reflexivity, intertextuality, and thematisation of both historical and political issues in her writing
She reflects upon her experiences and familiarity with her culture, using this reflection to drive her actions which are described
-
"A post-structuralist approach argues that to understand an object (e.g., a text), it is necessary to study both the object itself and the systems of knowledge that produced the object"
in this case, the object for Howe is her identity and culture
