Maps, graphs, x + 190pp, appendix, notes, index, library sticker on spine and upper cover, pockets at rear and marks on edges. A sound clean reading copy. Following upon, and questioning some of the premises of Wolf and Huang's Marriage and Adoption in China, 1845-1945 (1980), Guests in the Dragon offers an exquisitely detailed social demography of rural Taiwan during the same period. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of how ecological variables affect Chinese marriage and family organisation. It adds substantially to our general appreciation of the relationship between cultural behaviour and demographic factors. Publisher's description. Seller Inventory # 157953

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Using data from the Taiwan household registers established by Japanese colonial authorities in 1906 and maintained by them until 1946, Pasternak explores the sources and demographic consequences of variations in marriage and family life during that period. In the process he questions long-held assumptions about the nature of Chinese society. Why were the three post-marital residency arrangements adopted with different frequencies in different areas How did the advent of certain technologies affect the demand for manual labor and, in turn, affect post-marital residency patterns What was the relationship between these patterns and rates of divorce, remarriage, fertility and morality To what extent did the mode of marriage shape relaitonships within the family Did the oft-expressed Chinese preference for sons actually influence child bearing strategies, patterns of adoption, or female mortality rates These are some of the questions Pasternak addresses.
