This book presents a systematic study of social stratification
processes in urban China, from 1949 to 1994. Based on the life
histories of a sample of urban residents from 20 Chinese cities,
this book addresses two themes: (1) the interplay between
redistribution and social stratification under state socialism in
urban china, especially the impact of the state and state policies
on individual life chances, in such areas as education, labor force
participation, promotion in organizations, and the distribution of
manifest and latent economic benefits; (2) an assessment of sources
and extent of China's economic transformation since the 1980s. The
author blends sociological analysis and sensitivity to the
historical context in interpreting changes and continuity in the
45-year history of state socialist China. This is the most
comprehensive and rigorous study of social stratification in China
to date.
