AbstractWhatever the causes, ever since the events on Tian'anmen Square on June 4th 1989, and especially since Deng Xiaoping's "tour of the South" in 1992, the whole of China has been experiencing a rising tide of nationalism and its cult of a return to the soil. The rapidity, intensity, and length of its duration have no precedent among the previous patriotic movements fomented by the government. It is as though the wounds to national pride in the 20th century are opening yet again.
