Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the experiences of children in the Taiwanese fishing community of Angang, the study examines how they engage with identity through schooling, family, and religion. It highlights their interactions with cultural texts, rituals, and communal practices that shape their understanding of familial and national identity. The exploration of themes such as nurturance, education, and kinship reveals the complexities of children's socialization and the balance they navigate between family loyalty and national commitment, with insights drawn from related contexts in northeastern mainland China.
