Book excerpt: Shi-xu critiques universalism in discourse studies in terms of the cultural consequences of its current white, western standpoint and advocates a culturally pluralist approach, a theory and research methodology from an innovative position between Eastern and Western cultures.

This is a book to interest any scholar or student of discourse looking outside their own intellectual tradition.
