Lu Xun - Towards the Refutation of Malevolent Voices - Interview with Professor Huters

<p>Today, we have our second installment in the Lu Xun series. This week we are joined by Professor Theodore Huters, Professor Emeriti in UCLA's Asian Languages and Cultures Department and Chief Editor, <em>Renditions</em>, Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the author of several books, including <em>Bringing the World Home: Appropriating the West in Late Qing and Early Republican China</em> and <em>Taking China to the World: The Cultural Production of Modernity</em>, soon to be released by Cambria Press. Professor Huters was generous enough to give his time to talk about one of Lu Xun's less-well known early works: "Towards a Refutation of Malevolent Voices," published originally in 1908. Professor Huters convincingly argues that though this work is not well known, it is important for understanding the arc of Lu Xun's work. </p>
