    "Since childhood, Tony Fabijanéciâc has travelled frequently to Yugoslavia and Croatia, the homeland of his father. He spent time with his peasant family in the village of Srebrnjak in the north and escaped to the Adriatic islands in the south where he could break free from the constraints of everyday life. Those two worlds--the north, marked by the haunting saga of family life, its history and material practices, and the south, a place defined by travel and escape--formed the two halves of Fabijanéciâc's Croatian life. Over time, he observed Srebrnjak become a white-collar weekend retreat, the community of peasants of the 1970s, to which he was first introduced, only a distant memory. From the continental interior of green valleys and plum orchards to the austere and skeletal karst coast, Drink in the Summer is a unique record of a place and people now lost to time, a description of a country's varied landscapes, and a journey of discovery, freedom, beauty, and love."--

  • - Building a Nation in China's Borderlands, 1919-45
    af Andres Rodriguez
    927,95 kr.

    How early-twentieth-century fieldwork put the Sino-Tibetan borderlands at the center of China's nation-making process. The center may hold, but borders can fray. Frontier Fieldwork explores the work of social scientists, agriculturists, photographers, students, and missionaries who took to the field on China's southwestern border at a time when foreign political powers were contesting China's claims over its frontiers. In the early twentieth century, when the threat of imperialism loomed large in the Sino-Tibetan borderlands, these fieldworkers undertook a nation-building exercise to unite a disparate, multi-ethnic population at the periphery of the country. Drawing on Chinese and Western materials, Andres Rodriguez exposes the transformative power of the fieldworkers' efforts, which went beyond creating new forms of political action and identity. His incisive study demonstrates that fieldwork placed China's margins at the center of its nation-making process and race to modernity.
