| description | João de Pina-Cabral’s *Between China and Europe: Person, Culture and Emotion in Macao* is presented as a distinctive contribution to historical and social anthropology, extending the author’s earlier work on Macanese identity and its shifting relation to Portuguese and Chinese heritages. The review emphasizes the book’s central analytic claim: Macao’s social history is repeatedly reconfigured by “incidents” that alter Portuguese–Chinese governance and, in turn, transform how Macanese people understand their own cultural practices. Drawing on field-based insights and sustained historical observation, the study links well-known turning points—particularly the consolidation of formal colonial rule in 1846 under Ferreira do Amaral and its reversal in 1966–67—to symbolic sites and commemorative practices, including statues of colonial figures and monuments whose meanings exceed their official intentions. The review highlights Pina-Cabral’s ability to connect political events to lived emotion and collective memory, showing how local accommodation, resentment, and cultural nuance emerged under changing imperial pressures. Key findings thus foreground the performative power of material symbols (even when plans fail) in mediating personhood, emotion, and cultural affiliation between China and Europe across the nineteenth, twentieth, and early post-1999 periods. |
