China's rapid economic growth, modernization and globalization have
led to astounding social changes. Contemporary China provides a
fascinating portrayal of society and social change in the
contemporary People's Republic of China. This book introduces
readers to key sociological perspectives, themes and debates about
Chinese society. It explores topics such as family life,
citizenship, gender, ethnicity, labour, religion, education, class
and rural/urban inequalities. It considers China's imperial past,
the social and institutional legacies of the Maoist era, and the
momentous forces shaping it in the present. It also emphasises
diversity and multiplicity, encouraging readers to consider new
perspectives and rethink Western stereotypes about China and its
people. Real-life case studies illustrate the key features of
social relations and change in China. Definitions of key terms,
discussion questions and lists of further reading help consolidate
learning. Including full-colour maps and photographs, this book
offers remarkable insight into Chinese society and social change.
