Research in school success in contemporary China has argued that
market reforms have reproduced the advantages for children from the
cadre and the professional families while simultaneously creating
new opportunities for children of the new arising economic elites.
However, it has performed less for traditional peasant families.
This book places a special emphasis on how rural parents from
different social backgrounds use guanxi (interpersonal social
networks) to maintain the interconnectedness between their families
and schools to create advantages for their children in school
success. It investigates, by an ethnographic study in a rural
county in middle China, how families from different social
backgrounds within rural society get involved in the schooling of
their children and how this contributes to different patterns of
school success. The book argues that schools provide few formal and
routine channels for rural parents to become involved in their
children's schooling. This raises the importance of family
strategic initiatives to employ guanxi in the creation of
advantages for their children's school success. It concludes with
discussions about guanxi as an important mechanism for social
exclusion in post-socialist China. Chapters include: Family
Strategies, Parental Involvement, and School Success The Roles of
Parents: Voices of Parents in Zong Regarding School Involvement
Policy Discourses: Missing the Link between Family and School
Peasants: Family and Kinship The Blurring Division between Home and
School This concise and comprehensive book is a qualitative study
that will appeal to researchers and advance students in Chinese
education and society.
