Since 1978, the opening up and reform in China has brought
tremendous economic and social changes. While China's economic
progress has been commendable, the social problems that go with
economic changes have raised serious concerns. Some of those
concerns are related to gender, ethnic, labor, and environmental
issues. This book is about what has happened in these arenas in
China since the opening up and reform in 1978. The study of gender,
ethnicity, labor, and environment touches on some of the
fundamental problems of modernization, especially the development
of individuals and groups. So even though gender, ethnicity, labor,
and environment seem to be separate issues, they are in fact
related in some fundamental ways. That's what this book will
explore as well. To understand is one thing and to do is another.
This book also incorporates studies of NGO practices to see how
NGOs have helped in transforming gender, ethnic, labor, and
environment interplay. Our study of NGOs in helping improve such
interplay sheds light on how specifically civil society can prod
the state to transform social relations for the better. This book
is an attempt to assess the changes, both positive and negative, in
gender, ethnic, ethnic, and environmental relations in China
especially in the past 30 years of opening up and reform,
especially regarding national identity formation.
