This book makes a novel contribution to the study of citizenship by
examining how individuals at the margins of Chinese society deal
with state efforts to transform them into model citizens.
Based on extensive original research, it examines how individuals
at the margins of Chinese society experienced the rights and
responsibilities of citizenship in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
This book shows how individuals dealt with state attempts to
transform them into model citizens, arguing that social and
cultural citizenship has a greater impact on peoples lives than
legal, civil and political citizenship. The seven case studies in
this book present intimate portraits of the conflicted identities
of peasants, criminals, ethnic minorities, the urban poor, rural
migrant children in the cities, mainland migrants in Hong Kong and
Chinese youth studying abroad as they negotiate the perilous
dilemmas presented by globalization and neoliberalism. Although the
focus is on marginal groups, the book portrays the nature of
citizenship in China overall.
Drawing on a diverse array of theories and methods from
anthropology, sociology, education, political science, cultural
studies and development studies, Chinese Citizenship presents fresh
perspectives and highlights the often devastating consequences that
citizenship distinctions can have on Chinese lives.
