Authors

Honggang Yang, Emory University. Carter Center

Abstract

Over a decade after Hsu's recognition of the urgency of national characte r studies, the pressing need is still there, especially in light of the demand for the anthropo­logical application to the author's career. In this essay, the significance of the approach is exemplified, and im­pediments to its furtherance are revealed. Honggang Yang, a Chinese anthropologist who received his Ph.D. from University of South Florida in 1991, is presently a Research Associate of Conflict Resolution Programs at the Carter Center of Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia.
