Taking aim at the conventional narrative that standard, national languages transform "peasants" into citizens, Gina Anne Tam centers the history of the Chinese nation and national identity on fangyan - languages like Shanghainese, Cantonese, and dozens of others that are categorically different from the Chinese national language, Mandarin. She traces how, on the one hand, linguists, policy-makers, bureaucrats and workaday educators framed fangyan as non-standard "variants" of the Chinese language, subsidiary in symbolic importance to standard Mandarin. She simultaneously highlights, on the other hand, the folksong collectors, playwrights, hip-hop artists and popular protestors who argued that fangyan were more authentic and representative of China's national culture and its history. From the late Qing through the height of the Maoist period, these intertwined visions of the Chinese nation - one spoken in one voice, one spoken in many - interacted and shaped one another, and in the process, shaped the basis for national identity itself.

Returning then to the question of which language represents the Chinese nation, we see two possible lines of interpretation: a loudly proclaimed narrative that promotes a homogenous Chinese identity represented by a unified language, and a more subtle narrative that lives in the quotidian, where heterogenous expressions of that national identity are represented by a plethora of other so-called nonstandard variants. These narratives of Chinese national belonging, and the central role fangyan played in their making, constitute the subject of this book. I argue that fangyan shaped Chinese nationalism and national identity from the lateQing (1644–1911) through the eve of the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), which I trace through the history of these two distinct but interdependent narratives. ...

略粗糙，错误不少，但关注点很有警示意义：方言/语音也是20世纪中国戏剧、诗歌等表演或更广泛的文化研究中不可忽视的物质性层面之一。在模糊书面和口语的情况下跨层次谈方言属于巨大失误了。

3.5. 更侧重于认识论与政策的讨论，作者强调自己关注民族主义如何奠定语言讨论（尤其是标准化国族语言）的基调，而非反过来讨论标准语如何创造民族国家。比较有趣的细节是pro方言论者如何继续受民族主义影响，以及GLF以前普通话与方言之间更为松动的关系。
