Children in the Taiwanese fishing community of Angang have their
attention drawn, consciously and unconsciously, to various forms of
identification through their participation in schooling, family
life and popular religion. They read texts about 'virtuous
mothers', share 'meaningful foods' with other villagers, visit the
altars of 'divining children' and participate in 'dangerous'
god-strengthening rituals. In particular they learn about the
family-based cycle of reciprocity, and the tension between this and
commitment to the nation. Charles Stafford's 1995 study of
childhood in this community (with additional material from
north-eastern mainland China) explores absorbing issues related to
nurturance, education, family, kinship and society in its analysis
of how children learn, or do not learn, to identify themselves as
both familial and Chinese.
