Bringing a new dimension to the study of citizenship, Chinese
Citizenship examines how individuals at the margins of Chinese
society deal with state efforts to transform them into model
citizens in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Based on extensive original research, the authors argue that social
and cultural citizenship has a greater impact on people's lives
than legal, civil and political citizenship. The seven case studies
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.
Drawing on a diverse array of theories and methods from
anthropology, sociology, education, political science, cultural
studies and development studies, the book presents fresh
perspectives and highlights the often devastating consequences that
citizenship distinctions can have on Chinese lives.
