It's a viewpoint which centralizes US social dynamics for sure, but I do understand a bit of this when it comes to US awards and commendations, because the US social dynamics there are actually relevant.

There's definately some significance in an Asian work getting recognised within the local US context for people who live within this context, but I find it strange how (what seems like) the vast majority of that work's recipients ignores the original context of the work and is completely unwilling (not just unable) to interrogate it in any way other than US-centric context. They books in question have their own good and bad points, but the mere fact that an Asian person living in an Asian country writes about Asian characters is not a sign of his great progressiveness.

It is strange but I'm going to be honest and say that even very educated people don't have the background to think about the original context of eastern work unless they go looking for commentary by people who do have the background. I think they should look for it, but imo most people couldn't tell you who Edward Said is, and his writing is basic if not seminal or wholistic.
