Pal Nyiri argues that the loosening of China's restrictions on internal and international migration, its promotion of domestic tourism,...

Twenty years ago, commercial tourism in the People's Republic of China hardly existed.

Scenic Spots is an engaging exploration of why Chinese tourists pursue certain kinds of experiences, what they make of them, and how their experiences and interpretations are shaped by the state.

Working from within a Chinese cultural framework, Pal Nyiri argues that China's brand of tourism is distinct from the traditions of both Western bourgeois tourism, which...

Since the late nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of Chinese have moved to Russia and Eastern Europe.

One out of every seven people in the world today is on the move, voluntarily and involuntarily, within countries and between them. More and more people belong to several communities at once and yet the social contract between state and citizen is still bounded by questions of nationality. Where will the cultural building blocks come from with which we can imagine a different kind of nation, and different kinds of institutions, that better reflect this reality?
