This innovative study introduces the concept of xiangchou homesickness and rural nostalgia to English-language scholarship, using it as a lens through which to explore rural development in contemporary China. Using hometown ethnography, Linda Qian takes a village in Zhejiang province as her primary case study to demonstrate the emotional, social and political forces shaping rural return migration and development policies. Through personal narratives and state-led initiatives, she reveals how xiangchou functions as both a 'structure of feeling' and a tool of affective governance. By intertwining lived experiences with broader social and political contexts, this study highlights the overlapping desires projected onto the countryside and underscores the significance of the 'rural' in the traditional concept of the 'hometown'.

Arvustused

'With vivid everyday details as much as theoretical probing, this splendid ethnographic tale is beautifully written through honest and intimate personal reflections. The larger question in the background is infinitely interesting: Does the 'last peasantry', still loosely organized in collective communities in China, have a future in modernity?' Lin Chun, Emeritus Professor of Comparative Politics, LSE 'A thought-provoking and moving workshaped, perhaps, by Linda Qian's own homesickness as a Chinese-Canadian ethnographerHomesick Nation reveals how homesickness in China is both a structure of feeling and a tool of governance: mobilized by the state, yet felt, negotiated, and resisted by thinking, doing, and feeling rural actors.' Ling Tang, Lecturer in Cultural Studies, University of Melbourne
