Ploughshare Village: Culture and Context in Taiwan
ISBN: 9780295994192 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This anthropological study of a workers' village in North Taiwan makes an important contribution to the comparative literature on Chinese and Taiwanese social organization. Based on fieldwork conducted in 1973 and 1978, the study is exceptional not only because of its excellent data but also because the village itself was unique. Unlike villages previously studied and written about, Ploughshare was neither an agricultural nor a fishing village, but rather one whose inhabitants earned their living mostly from coal mining, knitting, and other non-agrarian activities. Culture and... This anthropological study of a workers' village in North Taiwan makes an important contribution to the comparative literature on Chinese and Taiwa... |

Cultural Encounters on China's Ethnic Frontiers
ISBN: 9780295975283 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. China's exploitation by Western imperialism is well known, but the imperialist treatment within China of ethnic minorities has been little explored. Around the geographic periphery of China, as well as some of the less accessible parts of the interior, and even in its cities, live a variety of peoples of different origins, languages, ecological adaptations, and cultures. These people have interacted for centuries with the Han Chinese majority, with other minority ethnic groups (minzu), and with non-Chinese, but identification of distinct groups and analysis of their history and...

Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted in the 1980s and 1990s in southern Sichuan, this pathbreaking study examines the nature of ethnic consciousness and ethnic relations among local communities, focusing on the Nuosu (classified as Yi by the Chinese government), Prmi, Naze, and Han.

Transforming Patriarchy: Chinese Families in the Twenty-First Century
ISBN: 9780295999821 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Each successive wave of revolution to hit modern China--political, cultural, and economic--has radically reshaped Chinese society. Whereas patriarchy defined the familial social structure for thousands of years, changing realities in the last hundred years have altered and even reversed long-held expectations. Transforming Patriarchy explores the private and public dimensions of these changes in present-day China. Patriarchy is not dead, but it is no longer the default arrangement for Chinese families: Daughters-in-law openly berate their fathers-in-law. Companies sell filial-piety...
