Description:
"Tanners of Taiwan is an ethnography of identity construction set in the leather-tanning communities of Southern Taiwan. Through life history analysis and ethnographic observation, author Scott Simon examines what it means to be Chinese - or alternatively Taiwanese - in contemporary Taiwan." "Tanners of Taiwan provides more than a description of work-places in Taiwan. Looking at the different perspectives of tanners, women managers, and workers, it demonstrates how cultural and other identities are constructed through dynamics of power and political economy."--BOOK JACKET.
