Book Synopsis Legacies of Childhood by : Jon L. Saari
Book excerpt: The author draws on autobiographical writings and interviews among the elderly on Taiwan and Hong Kong who were born at the turn of the twentieth century: people who witnessed a society changing from an isolated Confucian society to a nation interacting with and influenced by the West. He interprets this material within its Chinese context but brings in Western sociological, anthropological and psychological insights.
