Chinese society has seen phenomenal change in the last 30 years.
Two of the most profound changes have been the rise of the
individual in both public and private spheres and the consequent
individualization of Chinese society itself. Yet, despite China's
recent dramatic entrance into global politics and economics,
neither of these significant shifts has been fully analyzed. China
presents an alternative model of social transformation in the age
of globalization, therfore its path to development may have
particular implications for the developing world.
"The Individualization of Chinese Society "reveals how individual
agency has been on the rise since the 1970s and how this has
impacted on everyday life and Chinese society more broadly. The
book presents a wide range of detailed case studies focusing on the
impact of economic policy, patterns of kinship, changes in marriage
relations and the socio-economic position of women, the development
of youth culture, the politics of consumerism, and shifting power
relations in everyday life. Exploring the rise of the individual in
both rural and urban settings, "The Individualization of Chinese
Society" provides a detailed overview of this major social
phenomenon and its wider implications.
