description: Expanding an article in The Pacific Review , Hodder (geography, U. of Plymouth, England) argues that what is commonly understood to be China is in large part a collage of images that are created and manipulated by individuals and groups within China in order to pursue their own social, economic, and political ambitions. Though these have been legitimated by European and American social scientists, he warns that policies toward China that are shaped or strongly conditioned by them are likely to prove either inappropriate or dangerous.
