A key objective of education in China is to cultivate one’s moral
values, with the ultimate objective of becoming fully human
(做人). Unlike the “West,” which regards moral cultivation as
related to but separate from citizenship cultivation, East Asia
(including China) views moral and citizenship cultivation as
synonymous. The essays in this book offer various perspectives on
and understandings of Chinese citizenship and education by a group
of scholars of Chinese heritage situated inside and outside of
China. They offer compelling evidence and rich theoretical
discussions about the practice of teaching citizenship in the state
education, the interplay between citizenship and China’s cultural
and religious traditions, and the construction of citizenship from
the groups from marginal positions. The book uses citizenship as a
lens to examine the pressing issues of identity, democracy,
religion and cosmopolitanism and sheds new light on China’s
ongoing social and educational changes. Thinking through
citizenship and citizenship education may act as an important
driving force to transform the culture and paradigms of governance
in China and the new meanings of becoming fully human. This book
will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of
Education, Politics, Sociology and Public Policy. The chapters in
this book were originally published in various Routledge journals.
