Written by a team of international scholars from China, Germany,
Ireland, New Zealand and the UK, this book provides interdisciplinary
studies on the construction and transformation of Chinese national
identity in the age of globalisation. It addresses a wide range of
issues central to national identity in the context of Chinese culture,
politics, economy and society, and explores a diverse set of topics
including the formation of an embryonic form of national identity in the
late Qing era, the influence of popular culture on national identity,
globalisation and national identity, the interaction and discourse
between ethnic identity and national identity, and identity construction
among overseas Chinese. It highlights the latest developments in the
field and offers a distinctive contribution to our knowledge and
understanding of national identity.
