{"product_id":"the-politics-of-locality-hsin-yi-lu-9780415934336","title":"The Politics of Locality: Making a Nation of Communities in Taiwan","description":"During the mid-1990s, Taiwan witnessed a remarkable proliferation of historical writings and cultural movements pertaining to 'the local'. 'Place (difang)' and 'community (shequ)' became two ubiquitous terms in the lexicon of being Taiwanese. This book is a critical examination of the socio-historical condition in which the discourse of local diversity emerged and gradually permeated Taiwan's public culture. Interweaving ethnographic sensibility and theoretical insights across disciplines, including anthropology, cultural studies and cultural geography the study elucidates the complex relationships between localism, nationalism and globalism. Not only is it a rare type of ethnography in Taiwan studies, this book also enriches our understanding of the increasingly significant field of East Asia (post)modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hsin-Yi Lu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415934338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415934336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.04w x 0.72d","brand":"Hsin-Yi Lu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064974717183,"sku":"9780415934336","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_293e33f6-a087-4631-87c5-3af8b0c275f2.jpg?v=1768672296","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-locality-hsin-yi-lu-9780415934336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
