Beyond Chinese studies and Asian studies more broadly, Tam's book will also make important contributions to the interdisciplinary study of language in fields such as sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. Methodologically, Tam's study rests on a "keyword" approach developed by cultural studies theorist Raymond Williams and applied in China by scholars such as Leon Rocha and Ruth Rogaski. £22.99 ISBN 978-1-108-74569-7 Gina Tam's book I Dialect and Nationalism in China, 1860-1960 i is an outstanding work that provides crucial historical insights for understanding language in contemporary China.
