Overview

How to define a Chinese national identity remains as hotly contested a question among today's Chinese citizens as it has been among foreign observers. This volume brings together ten new essays by an interdisciplinary group of leading sinologists and offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the nature of Chinese national identity in past and contemporary settings.

Booknews

Draws together a wide range of interdisciplinary material concerning Chinese historical memory and cultural choice. Contributions focus on key moments in China's domestic cultural and political history as well as its foreign policy, and consider how the Chinese state has at times coincided and at other times failed to coincide with the self-image of the people.
