"A new look at China's urban culture during the early twentieth
century. Erasing the dichotomy between tradition and modernity, the
author examines the relationship between native-place sentiments
and an emerging national identity."--Susan Mann, author of "Local
Merchants and the Chinese Bureaucracy, 1750-1950
"Bryna Goodman's work on native-place associations is one of the
most important studies of Chinese social history to have appeared
in the last ten years. It melds an ingeniously researched
ethnography with a convincing narrative of urban history. The
result is a highly original approach to the development of the
modern Chinese city."--Philip A. Kuhn, author of "Soulstealers: The
Chinese Sorcery Scare of 1768
