Gina Tam's book offers readers a well-researched, clearly argued, and elegantly written account of the complex relationship between language and nationalism in contemporary China.Questioning the popular thesis about the ability of the national language to turn peasants into city dwellers, the author focuses on dialects that are strikingly different from the official Mandarin - Shanghai, Cantonese, and many others. Tam shows how the language of the common and the local are firmly intertwined in spoken practice and together form a national identity.
