"Through the translated stories of twenty Tibetan women of various backgrounds, ages and occupations who were alive in the twentieth century, this book presents broad, under explored and engaging perspectives on Tibetan culture and politics, ethnicity or mixed ethnicity, art, marriage, religion, education and values. Offering a unique spectrum of primary sources, this book showcases interviews which were recorded in the 1990s and early 2000s which faithfully document Tibetan women telling their stories in their own words and situates these stories in their historical and socio-cultural contexts. These women were historically and religiously significant, such as a tulku (an incarnate), and tribal and local leaders, as well as ordinary women, such as poor peasants, the urban poor and women in polyandrous marriages. An important and unique contribution to the understanding of Tibetan women, this book is a valuable resource for those in the fields of Anthropology, Women and Gender Studies, Applied History, Contemporary China Studies, and Indigenous Studies"--

Elle a largement profité des ressources intellectuelleset matérielles du port ouvert de Shanghai et s'est vouée à l'implantation dunouveau système d'enseignement dans la province, tout en s'employant àremédier aux carences et à la corruption de l'appareil d'État. Elle a déployé uneffort considérable pour faire accepter le principe du droit d'association et pouren concrétiser l'application par la multiplication de ses antennes locales.Intégrée dans le cadre institutionnel de coopération instauré en 1906-1907,elle a apporté un concours indispensable à l'administration. En dépitd'innombrables obstacles, la Société a manifesté la plus grande énergie dans ledéveloppement et la consolidation de son réseau de relais locaux et dans lerèglement des problèmes concrets posés par la réforme. Elle a arbitré denombreux conflits, introduit de nouvelles procédures et de nouvelles pratiquesorganisationnelles. Cette construction laborieuse du corps social allaitdéboucher sur une réorganisation politique de base, que la dictature de YuanShikai interrompit brutalement en 1914.

Hong Xiao examines the linkage between social structure and child-rearing values in the United States and China. Her primary objectives are to examine the underlying structure of childrearing values, discover the dynamics of the structural-level, family-level, and individual-level determinants of childrearing values, and to compare patterns of value orientations in the two countries.

The United States and China are two societies with distinctive cultures. Common to many of the discussions of American culture is the perception that Americans value individual independence. Chinese culture, on the other hand, is said to emphasize individual conformity. Using data from the World Values Survey 19901993, the author examines patterns of child socialization values in the United States and China. Empirical evidence provides little support for the conventional assumptions. In fact, Americans in the 1990s are much more likely than Chinese to value children's obedience. Chinese, on the other hand, are more likely than Americans to endorse children's independence. The study also finds that, despite of cross-national differences in dominant religion, cultural tradition, and political system, Americans and Chinese are quite similar in their thinking of the kinds of things to teach children at home. Among the top six values endorsed within each country, five are identical. Sources and implications of the findings are discussed.
