A timely, original study of the emergence of a new type of thinking
about children and their rights in contemporary urban China, which
draws on diverse evidence from Chinese government, academic, media,
and pedagogic publications, as well as on participant observation
and interviews in two primary schools and among elite and middle
class families in Shanghai, China. Drawing on rich, ethnographic
data, this book debunks many popular and scholarly stereotypes
about the predominance of Confucian ideas of parental authority in
China or about the indifference to individual human rights in the
political and public culture of the PRC. This book also recognizes
the complexities and conflicts that exist in Chinese discourses
about and practices toward children, as older ideas of filiality,
neoliberal ideologies, and the new awareness of children's right to
privacy, to expressing their views, and to protection against
violence compete and collude in complicated, often contradictory
ways.
