Dialect and Nationalism in China, 1860–1960
Tam, Gina Anne (Trinity University, Texas)
Challenging the widely accepted narrative that national languages create national identity, Tam narrates the history of the Chinese nation and Chinese nationalism from the perspective of fangyan - dialects or regional languages distinct from Mandarin - and in so doing, shows how they were central to the making of modern nationalism in China.
