Homesick Nation: Development, Migration and Yearning in Rural China
Qian, Linda (University of Cambridge)
Linda Qian introduces xiangchou - homesickness and rural nostalgia – to English-language scholarship, using it as a lens through which to explore rural development in contemporary China. She blends qualitative ethnography with policy analysis to reveal how xiangchou functions as both a "structure of feeling" and a tool of affective governance.
