Informationen zum Autor Susan L. Glosser is Associate Professor of History at Lewis & Clark College. Klappentext "Glosser illuminates the ideal of the 'small family' and shows how it supplied a cultural repertoire upon which twentieth-century leaders have drawn to promote their own ideas about modernity."-Susan Mann! Co-editor of Under Confucian Eyes: Writings On Gender in Chinese History Zusammenfassung Examines how the link between family order and national salvation in China affected state-building and explores its consequences. This book argues that the replacement of the authoritarian, patriarchal, extended family structure with an egalitarian, conjugal family was a way for the nation to preserve crucial elements of its traditional culture.
