Abstract
Abstract Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea are often grouped under the label of “Asian Tigers” or “Asian Miracle Economies.” Following World War II, they developed successful manufacturing and export industries and have been touted as models of Third World industrial development. Yet their economic rise has obscured the colonial and postcolonial dimensions of the “Asian miracle.” When viewed through the lens of postcolonial studies, the Asian Tigers’ rapid economic development can be seen to be deeply entwined with Cold War politics of decolonization, US imperialism in Asia, and complex attempts to forge postcolonial national identities. In particular, literature and cultural production provides a broader perspective on the economic rise of the Asian Tigers.
