Chineseness of China

The fifteen essays collected in this volume--which move from the T'ang and Sung dynasties to the present day--represent some of the author's efforts to learn about China from afar, as someone of Chinese heritage born and raised outside the country. Using the history and cultural attitudes, the author also shows the changing perspectives of how the Chinese view their present and their past during the past three decades.Gungwu, Wang is the author of 'Chineseness of China', published 1992 under ISBN 9780195853322 and ISBN 0195853326.
