Pearl S. Buck's literary reputation has undergone dramatic shifts that reflect changing U.S.-China relations and evolving critical paradigms. Once celebrated as a Nobel Prize winner (1938), Buck was later dismissed as "middlebrow", only to be rehabilitated by Chinese scholars in the late 20th century. Her transnational identity, forged through forty years in China in a missionary family, positioned her as a unique cultural mediator whose work challenges essentialist notions of national and racial identity.

Abstract
Pearl S. Buck's literary reputation has undergone dramatic shifts that reflect changing U.S.-China relations and evolving critical paradigms. Once celebrated as a Nobel Prize winner (1938), Buck was later dismissed as "middlebrow", only to be rehabilitated by Chinese scholars in the late 20th century. Her transnational identity, forged through forty years in China in a missionary family, positioned her as a unique cultural mediator whose work challenges essentialist notions of national and racial identity.| File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
