Unstructuring Chinese Society The Fictions of Colonial Practice and the Changing Realities of Land in the New Territories of Hong Kong

Unstructuring Chinese Society is a culmination of long term field work and archival research that challenges existing theories of social organisation and cultural change. The book makes new sense of historical contradictions, political conflicts and deep seated social transformations that have underlined the experience of colonial rule and the practices of local institutions in Hong Kong over the past century. By focusing on the ongoing interactions of discourse, practices and global-local relations in cultural terms, Unstructuring Chinese Society puts forth a fresh perspective in the field of historical anthropology, while addressing ongoing critical concerns in postcolonial theory and our understanding of tradition and modernity.Chun, Allen is the author of 'Unstructuring Chinese Society The Fictions of Colonial Practice and the Changing Realities of Land in the New Territories of Hong Kong', published 2002 under ISBN 9780415285650 and ISBN 0415285658.
