Food Chains, Ecosystems and Myths
Before the rise of environmental conservation movements in the 1960s, anthropologists had already begun to advocate concepts of ecosystem analysis as the key to understand how humans maintain sustainable interactions with their surroundings. This lasting concern, which crisscrosses temporal, regional, and disciplinary boundaries, led to investigations on how multifaceted cultural mechanisms are developed in this human-environmental feedback loop.…

Gender Differences in the Epidemiological Characteristics and Long-Term Trends of Injuries in Taiwan from 1998 to 2015
Objective: This study used a long-term trend analysis to investigate whether gender differences were related to the risk of injury and epidemiological characteristics in Taiwan from 1998 to 2015. Materials and methods: Data on 4,647,259 hospitalized patients that were injured from 1 January 1998, to 31 December 2015 were collected from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Among the injured patients, 2,721,612 males and 1,925,4…
Discrimination and incorporation of Taiwanese indigenous Austronesian peoples
This paper examines contemporary developments among Taiwan’s indigenous Austronesian peoples. We have reviewed major policy changes mainly since the 1980s and their impacts on later developments – both the positive improvements in general well-being and the persistence of ingrained problems among them. Major findings indicate two growing trends among Taiwanese Austronesians. One is the rise of interest in their cultures and efforts to preserve an…
Situating East Asian Anthropology in the World
Engendering social suffering
This paper examines how reproducing Chineseness has become a source of social suffering through the case study of a group of Yunnan Chinese who escaped Chinese communist rules in the Mainland in 1949 or shortly after and settled in northern Thailand in the 1960s. As self-proclaimed carriers of traditional Chinese culture, they worked arduously to replicate whatever they considered 'authentic' Chinese through a narrow interpretation of the Confuci…
Building China's Nascent Civil Society
Religion as a means of cultural reproduction
This article discusses how popular rituals are used to achieve cultural reproduction in Banmai, a Yunnan Chinese village in northern Thailand where I conducted empirical fieldwork between 2002 and 2007. Most Banmai villagers were local militias originally associated with the Chinese Nationalist Party in western Yunnan Province. They went into exile on the Burmese side of the Golden Triangle in or shortly after 1949 when the People's Liberation Ar…

Nutritional Well-Being of Preschool Children in a North China Village
China's and openness has reached the midpoint of its second decade. And yet, for Westem sinologists, who now have increased opportunity to conduct ethnographic fieldwork in rural China, it seems that access has raised more questions than it has answered. These questions include the following: To what extent has the current reform really benefited the rural populace? Have their living conditions improved with increased disposable incomes and consu…
The Spiral Road
The leading Party cadre of Lin Village in Southeast China describes in this book forty years of turbulent events that affected individuals and families in the village: the downfall of the landlords during the Land Reform, the rise of poor peasants to political power, the political fanaticism of the Great Leap Forward and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, and recent efforts to restore rational, pragmatic policies in China's countryside.Th…
Transforming China's collective health care system
The Development of Regionalism in Ta-Chia, Taiwan
Anthropologists studying rural Chinese social organization have traditionally focused on the nature of family and kinship organizations as the key to understanding its dynamics and changes. Ethnographical data gathered in Ta-chia, Central Taiwan, suggests, however, that kinship organizations have not been an important functional, social mechanism there and alternative models must be pursued. Reconstructing the historical process of Chinese settle…
