First sentence: Taking as its inspiration Homi Bhabha's call to locate culture not in any essential core qualities, but on the margins or boundaries of assumed authenticities - in the nexus of power, class, and social difference - this book seeks not to locate China and Chinese culture in any essential 'Chineseness' that is unchanging, continuous, and predetermined.
