This book is directly relevant to students and professionals in anthropology, psychology and economics who are interested in economic life in the real world of everyday human interactions. It is framed around fascinating examples drawn from field research in rural China and Taiwan, and thus provides a useful introduction to these two societies.
Charles Stafford explores the Chinese fascination with separation and reunion, based upon his field studies in Taiwan and mainland China. He gives a vivid account of everyday rituals, and examines how they help people settle into communities, and to explain the passions aroused by the possibility of national culture.
