Like Cattle and Horses

"Specialists and general readers alike will delight in the stories that Smith tells. This perceptive and original book abounds in good ideas and gems of scholarship and draws on a formidable range of theories. Few historians of China could match this range of expertise."--Gregor Benton, University of Wales, Cardiff

"Specialists will delight in the stories that Smith tells and will be impressed by the formidable range of theories that he draws on and develops. This superbly perceptive and original book contains many gems of scholarship. Few other historians of China could match this range of expertise." - Gregor Benton, University of Wales, College at Cardiff "Like Cattle and Horses stands out as an important and original contribution to debates within Chinese studies about labour and nationalism and a significant addition to the comparative literature on class identities and their political implications." - Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Indiana University
