Reviews
“A prudent, scholarly and well-written account of one of the most contentious issues in contemporary Chinese politics - the extent and potential impact of nationalism. This book represents the happy collaboration of a scholar from the UK and one originally from China but now based in Britain, who are able to bring their respective expertise to bear on an issue, creating light where there is all too often darkness. Highly recommended.” (Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies, King’s College London, UK)
