Beschreibung

Xu Guoqi navigates the fraught terrain of Chinese identity, arguing that the idea of China has always been constructed and reconstructed in concert with the broader world. China is fundamentally constituted by a shared history, and in this way is like all nations: not a stable object but rather a never-ending process of transnational mythmaking.
