Town and Country in China Identity and Perception

Contemporary scholars place the rural-urban divide at the center of individual identity in China. This interdisciplinary collection traces the development and distinctions between urban and rural life and the effect on the Chinese sense of identity from the 16th century to the present day. It provides a daunting example of the influence that political ideology may exert on an individual's sense of place.Faure, David is the author of 'Town and Country in China Identity and Perception', published 2002 under ISBN 9780333945957 and ISBN 0333945956.
