Professor Hashimoto describes the the formation, phonology and syntax of the Hakka dialects.
This book discusses the methodology of systematic Chinese Dialect classification, with particular attention to the conservative Miin and Hakka groups spoken in southern China. The primary linguistic methodology employed is the historical-comparative method, and the dialects chosen as examples of classification are those spoken in and around the township of Wann'an in western Fukien's Longyan country. The book features extensive comparative tables of dialect forms, and a two-hundred page appendix outlining the diasystem of the four principal Wann'an dialects.
The Hakka are a minority group that has been in China since, at least 240 B.C. They have cultural markers that separate them from the majority Han Chinese Group. This book separates actual cultural markers from ethnic stereotypes.
In Global Hakka: Hakka Identity in the Remaking Jessieca Leo offers a needed update on Hakka history and a reassessment on Hakka identity in the global and transnational contexts, and views the concept of ‘being Hakka’ in the 21st century as Hakkaness – a quality determined by lifestyle and personal choice.
