The post-Mao urban reforms of the last decade have physically and
psychologically transformed China's cities. These essays explore
how the character of city life shifted after the political-economic
restructuring intensified in 1984, and how this shift affected the
creation of new physical, economic and cultural space in urban
China. The authors draw on a wide range of backgrounds, including
anthropology, comparative literature, economics, art history, law,
political science and sociology, as well as their own experiences
of living and working in Chinese cities to provide insight into
lesser known dimensions of urban Chinese life: China's large
'floating populations', avant-garde art, labor movements, and
leisure.
