Chinese childhood is undergoing a major transformation. This book
explores how government policies introduced in China over the last
few decades and processes of social and economic change are
reshaping the lives of children and the meanings of childhood in
complex, contradictory ways. Drawing on a broad range of literature
and original ethnographic research, Naftali explores the rise of
new ideas of child-care, child-vulnerability and child-agency; the
impact of the One-Child Policy; and the emergence of children as
independent consumers in the new market economy. She shows that
Chinese boys and increasingly girls, too are enjoying a new
empowerment, a development that has met with ambiguity and
resistance from both caregivers and the state. She also
demonstrates how economic restructuring and the recent waves of
rural/urban migration have produced starkly unequal conditions for
children s education and development both in the countryside and in
the cities. Children in China is essential reading for students and
scholars seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to be a
child in contemporary China, as well as for those concerned with
the changing relationship between children, the state and the
family in the global era.
