White-Parks, Annette. "Sui Sin Far: A Writer on the Chinese-Anglo Cultural Borders in North America, 1865 to 1914," American Studies Program, Washington State University, May 1991. Advisor: Alexander Hammond
This dissertation is the first extended study of the life and literary oeuvre of Sui Sin Far/Edith Maude Eaton, an author of Chinese-British parentage who founded a tradition of Chinese North American literature in Canada and the United States. The study’s basic premise is that the particular strategies Sui Sin Far devised to write against the dominant racial and cultural ideologies of her time cannot be understood in isolation from either her life experiences or the cultural environments within which she wrote.
