The Chineseness of China: Selected Essays

by Gungwu Wang and Wang Gungwu

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.
