Things Modern: Material Culture and Everyday Life in China
Frank Dikotter
Maps many changes in the material landscape of China from the mid nineteenth century to the advent of communism in 1949. This book analyses how a very pragmatic attitude towards material goods prevailed, as most consumers bought the new and discarded the old without misgivings.
