Digest RSS feed for Danwei

Posted by Joel Martinsen, May 6, 2008 3:01 PM

We've heard murmurings among our readership about information overload: Danwei, they say, is updating too frequently.

Recognizing that not everyone is chained to a computer 24/7, we've whipped up a new RSS feed that provides a daily digest of Danwei posts in a single, convenient article. It's updated every day at 19:30, Beijing time. Subscribe via Feedsky, for mainland readers, or Feedburner, for the rest of you.

Books on China

Tales of Old Hong Kong: The new Tales of Old Hong Kong compiled by Derek Sandhaus is available at Earnshaw Books.

Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.

William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
