- Summary:
- "The Russia-China border is a study in contrasts, with booming cities on the Chinese side and sleepy villages on the Russian.

Anthropologists Franck Billé and Caroline Humphrey describe a vigorous and diverse transnational society facing profound political constraints"-- Provided by publisher.
