About This Item
United Kingdom.: Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd.. 1992.. Black and white line illustrations, xii + 251pp, bibliography, index, very good copy in lightly faded dustjacket. "The first systematic study of a topic which cuts straight through the heart of many aspects of intellectual life in modern China and has hitherto remained unexplored because it has been deemed to be embarrassing and politically unfashionable: the discourse of race. This book looks at the emergence of racial stereotypes during the 19th century, the gradual formation of a racial discourse at the turn of the century, the conceptualization of racial nationalism at the beginning of the 1910s and the institutionalization and habituation of this discourse by the academic community in the 1920s and 1930s. It also provides the first analysis of eugenics - the pseudo-science of race improvement - in Republican China" Taken from the blurb. .
