This book examines the condition of being a young person in China
and the way in which changes in various dimensions of urban life
have affected Chinese youths' quests to understand themselves. The
author examines social factors such as changes in the physical
construction of urban neighbourhoods; changes in family life
including reduced family size, increasing rates of divorce and
increased physical mobility of the family unit; school life and
mounting pressure to perform well in examinations and be a good
student; access to foreign and domestic media as well as access to
the internet. Drawing on the fields of social and cultural
anthropology, Alex Cockain shows that the process of self
understanding in a changing spatial, social and cultural world
involves ongoing disjointed efforts to achieve a sense of security
and belonging on the one hand and a degree of increased autonomy in
their relationships with, for example, parents and teachers on the
other. This book will appeal to anyone interested in Chinese
Society, Social and Cultural Anthropology, Asian Anthropology and
Youth Studies.
