Chinese Nationalism in Perspective : Historical and Recent Cases Hardback
Edited by C. X. George Wei, Professor of History Xiaoyuan Liu
Part of the Contributions to the Study of World History series
Hardback
Description
Wei and Liu argue that Chinese nationalism is a multifaceted concept.
At different historical moments and under certain circumstances, it had different meanings and interacted with other competing motives and interests.
The authors of this timely volume, all of whom are of Chinese origin and bi-national education, have produced a balanced and non-culture-bound work of scholarship.
It contains diverse, provocative, and in-depth analysis of both historical and recent case studies that can shed light on the contemporary incarnation of Chinese nationalism. This interdisciplinary anthology looks at variants of Chinese nationalism upheld and contended by social groups, classes, and power-holders from the past to the present.
The authors argue that nationalism can be supported by both patriotic and group- or party-oriented interest calculations.
Forms of Chinese nationalism can result from situational as well as ideological conditions.
