The effects of the de-regulation of the Chinese university system
have been nothing short of spectacular. For the first time since
1949, students possessing neither gifted intellect nor political
connections have been able to share in the benefits of higher
education, while a flood of international educators have opened up
a previously cloistered and politically sensitized academic world.
This fascinating book examines China's higher education system, and
how it's new and unique blend of foreign and Chinese perspectives
impact on both the lives of students and academics and wider
Chinese society. Viewed with suspicion as a new type of Chinese by
the older generation and by the government, they are at the same
time the very entrepreneurs driving the economic and social
revolution sweeping the country. Using a range of in-depth
interviews and unique research, it provides open and often frank
accounts of life, work and education in China, from the Cultural
Revolution to the creation of its market-focused entrepreneurial
generation. Candid and illuminating, this is a book no serious
reader of Asian studies, comparative education or Asian sociology
will want to be without.
