Summary:

"The Russia-China border is a study in contrasts, with booming cities on the Chinese side and sleepy villages on the Russian. Both governments discourage cross-border interaction, yet exchange is constant. Anthropologists Franck Billé and Caroline Humphrey describe a vigorous and diverse transnational society facing profound political constraints"-- Provided by publisher.
