Ancestral Genealogies in Modern China
Guarding the Shoreline
This article explores the shoreline industries (oysters, salt, fish, lime) that emerged along the Laufaushan coast in Hong Kong's New Territories, in the period 1667 to 1978. The shoreline in question was controlled by a local security force, staffed by young men from a nearby lineage. The study draws on ethnographic research carried out by the author and local documents (of village and government origin) gathered on site

University Teachers and Resistance in the Neoliberal University
This study of Canadian university teacher militancy explores the dynamics and strategies of resistance in the neoliberal university. While responses to the neoliberal reorientation of higher education are complex, uneven, and sometimes contradictory, the authors demonstrate how neoliberalization has fostered greater conflict, more militancy, more strikes, and greater politicization of unions representing university teachers. The authors argue tha…
Interrogating the Relationship Between Bargaining Structures and Bargaining Outcomes for Contract Academic Faculty in Ontario
This article uses case studies from three comparable Ontario-based universities to explore the relationship between bargaining unit structures and collective bargaining outcomes for unionized sessional contract academic faculty. The article charts the complex network of bargaining unit structures and inter-union or association relationships in Ontario universities and uses both quantitative and qualitative data to illustrate how different structu…

Globalization in Asia
Saltwater Margin
In 1969 I began a long-term ethnographic study of a Cantonese village in what was then the rural hinterland of British Hong Kong. The community, known as San Tin, no longer had a productive economy; farming had ceased a few years earlier and villagers depended almost entirely on remittances from emigrants working in Europe. The only men resident in the village were retired farmers and ex-seamen, most of whom had little to do except drink tea, wat…

Orthopraxy Revisited
Sars in China
This book examines the structure and impact of the SARS epidemic, and its short- and medium-range implications for an interconnected, globalized world. In so doing, it poses a question of the greatest possible significance: Can we learn from SARS before the next pandemic

The Structure of Chinese Funerary Rites
Death Ritual in Late Imperial and Modern China
During the late imperial era (1500-1911), China, though divided by ethnic, linguistic, and regional differences at least as great as those prevailing in Europe, enjoyed a remarkable solidarity. What held Chinese society together for so many centuries? Some scholars have pointed to the institutional control over the written word as instrumental in promoting cultural homogenization; others, the manipulation of the performing arts. This volume, comp…

Studies in Chinese Society
Hereditary Tenancy and Corporate Landlordism in Traditional China
After half a century of intense debate, landlordism in traditional China continues to be one of the most controversial subjects in Asian Studies circles. The earlier literature on this topic tends to be contradictory and, at times, highly polemical. Two loosely defined schools of thought have emerged since the 1930s: (A) those scholars who argue that landlord-tenant relations were primarily exploitative with the balance of power passing increasin…

Chinese Kinship Reconsidered
Social historians and social anthropologists may differ in respect to methodology but they often study the same kinds of problems and ask similar questions of their data. This is particularly true in the field of Chinese studies. Anthropologists who work in Chinese villages, towns or cities cannot help but be aware of historical issues; if they are not their hosts will soon set them straight. Historians, in turn, must become anthropologists of so…
Of flesh and bones
The ritual repertoire associated with death in Chinese society is so complex that it confounds those who would attempt to 'make sense of it all' as a uniform set of symbolic representations. This very challenge, no doubt, is precisely the reason why the subject has preoccupied three generations of sinological anthropologists. One of the most puzzling aspects of Chinese mortuary ritual is the extreme ambivalence shown toward the physical remains o…
