Separation And Reunion In Modern China
Cambridge University Press (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
In this distinctive book, Charles Stafford describes the Chinese fascination
with separation and reunion. Drawing on his field studies in Taiwan and mainland
China, he gives a vivid account of festivals of reunion, rituals for the
sending-off of gods, silent leave-takings, poetic words of parting, and bitter
political rhetoric. Stafford examines how these idioms and practices help people
situate themselves in historical communities, and how they are deployed in
official Chinese rhetoric concerning Taiwan. The discussion of these everyday
rituals offers rich insights into Chinese and Taiwanese society and culture.
