{"product_id":"a-nation-state-by-construction-suisheng-zhao-9780804748971","title":"A Nation-State by Construction: Dynamics of Modern Chinese Nationalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first historically comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the causes, content, and consequences of nationalism in China, an ancient empire that has struggled to construct a nation-state and find its place in the modern world. It shows how Chinese political elites have competed to promote different types of nationalism linked to their political values and interests and imposed them on the nation while trying to repress other types of nationalism. In particular, the book reveals how leaders of the PRC have adopted a pragmatic strategy to use nationalism while struggling to prevent it from turning into a menace rather than a prop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suisheng Zhao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804748977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804748971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.02w x 1.00d","brand":"Suisheng Zhao","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059760787711,"sku":"9780804748971","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4eec0e3-e9e4-4fbe-a4d1-ed3abb9f7574.jpg?v=1685060173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-nation-state-by-construction-suisheng-zhao-9780804748971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
