In the summer of 2005, distinguished geographer YiFu Tuan ventured to China to speak at an international architectural conference, returning for the first time to the place he had left as a child sixtyfour years before. He traveled from Beijing to Shanghai, addressing college audiences, floating down the Yangtze River on a riverboat, and visiting his former home in Chongqing.In this enchanting volume, Tuans childhood memories and musings on the places encountered during this homecoming are interspersed with new lectures, engaging overarching principles of human geography as well as the changing Chinese landscape. Throughout, Tuans interactions with his hosts, with his colleagues children, and even with a garrulous tour guide, offer insights into one who has spent his life studying place, culture, and self.At the beginning of his trip, Tuan wondered if he would be a stranger among people who looked like him. By its end, he reevaluates his own selfdefinition as a hyphenated American and sheds new light on human identitys complex roots in history, geography, and language.YiFu Tuan is author of Cosmos and Hearth, Dear Colleague, and Space and Place, all from Minnesota. He retired from the University of WisconsinMadison in 1998.
