réf. B9780520338661Paperback / softback. New. How do the people of a village that is both Chinese and Christian reconcile the contradictions between their religious and ethnic identities This ethnographic study explores the construction and changing meanings of ethnic identity in Hong Kong. Established at the turn of the century by Hakka Christians who sought to escape hardships and discrimination in China Shung Him Tong was constructed as an "ideal" Chinese and Christian village. The Hakka Christians translate "traditional" Chinese beliefs-such as ancestral worship and death rituals-that are incompatible with their Christian ideals into secular form providing a crucial link with the past and with a Chinese identity. Despite accusations to the contrary these villagers maintain that while they are Christian they are still Chinese.

A SCARCE EARLY ENGLISH WORK ON STYLE AND COMMUNICATION. Constable pens at the end of his preface that he knows himself to be very far from having avoided the faults he has observed in others. "We often no less in writing than in morals see what ought to be done while in these we will not and in those we cannot perform it ourselves. And in fine I have in this kind what Cicero calls so unsatiable an ear that it always desires even where it's pleased the most something still more perfect." 'Constable offers the most thorough English defense of the style lyric poets adopted in order to produce wonder. Because written in the form of a series of dialogues Constable's work presents arguments both for and against "metaphysical" style although the author's sympathies are always clear: within the course of the dialogues the author's mouthpiece Eudoxus converts Cleander and Critomachus to his view making them over in his image as champions of the accuracy or correctness of style then prevalent.Although directed specifically against the prose style of Callicrates Constable's work touches on both poetry and prose drawing its examples from both.' j.
