In the end, China not only survived the war but emerged from the trauma with a more cohesive population. \u003ci\u003eIntimate Communities\u003c\/i\u003e argues that women who worked as military and civilian nurses, doctors, and midwives during this turbulent period built the national community, one relationship at a time. In a country with a majority illiterate, agricultural population that could not relate to urban elites’ conceptualization of nationalism, these women used their work of healing to create emotional bonds with soldiers and civilians from across the country. These bonds transcended the divides of social class, region, gender, and language.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nicole Elizabeth Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42959966797942,"sku":"9780520300460","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_b4fdea7d-e9bd-41c1-b261-d395a097533d.jpg?v=1767786299","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/intimate-communities-9780520300460","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
