| Summary: | In Constructing China's Jerusalem, Nanlai Cao provides one of the best thickly descriptive studies of Christianity's emerging role in contemporary Chinese society. Focusing on Wenzhou—considered by many as the center point of the recent growth of urban Christianity—Cao analyzes “how local people produce, consume, and interpret Christian values and symbols that redefine forms of local social organization and local power structures” (11). The result is a rich account of the everyday navigation of the intersection of religion, power, and place. |
