By viewing the nation as a cluster of spatial-temporal relations that link individuals to a territorial state, this book provides a different view of early twentieth-century China where the party-state did not have full control of political and cultural affairs, and alternative political perspectives (such as local self-government and democratic aristocracy) could be freely expressed.Ideas, history, and modern China ;Volume 11.ChinaCivilization20th centuryChinaCivilizationPictorial works951Hon Tze-ki1622397MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827958903321Allure of the nation4028273UNINA
