I am moving to Kunming with my family in August to teach english, keep on learning mandarin and maybe read a few books (among other things). I am very interested in anthropology and some of the books you found might be of interest (Minority issues). I am bringing some along but certainly not enough. Would you be interested in eventually selling some of these books? Thanks for your time Peter Monaghan Hi Elizabeth,

There are so many minorities in China who seem to feel slightly let down by the system, as well as Han Chinese people who are resentful of the minorities as they are allowed to have more than one child, and for other reasons.

Not sure what a "course pack" is but it sure has helpful stuff in it. Quite the find! I love you! Wow! Not sure what a “course pack” is but it sure has helpful stuff in it. Quite the find!

I found it very frustrating not to get past the very superficial chit-chat that the language barrier allowed. It was very hard to connect on deeper levels. Even living in England, I have occasional waves of feeling like the 'other' as you say. It must be exhausting in China.. but exhilarating too i imagine. I love you! and like I said - you can call me anytime! I remember when I was living in a house of ‘foreigners’ heh (myself being one of them), here in england

What an incredibly interesting and relevant list of essays. Dang. That's cool. What year was the Orientation book put together? I notice that there's an essay by Fairbank. And I hope that the things that aren't appropriate for blogging aren't too serious. .... love from Dad Wow. What an incredibly interesting and relevant list of essays. Dang. That’s cool.
