This book offers international readers a comprehensive introduction
to higher education in China, and will help readers around the
globe make sense of the huge and complex machinery that makes up
the university and college sector in China today. It accompanies
readers step by step, allowing them to understand the most
important aspects of this sector in China - its history and
development, its scope and structure, its operational system and
management, and its enrollment and employment processes. It also
provides an overview of the various levels of higher education in
China, namely: specialized higher education, undergraduate
education, postgraduate education, research and faculty. In short,
the book will tell you what higher education in China is and how it
works. While economic globalization and internationalization of
higher education have greatly reduced the differences among
educational systems in various countries, it cannot be denied that
any given country's higher education system needs to be deeply
rooted in its culture and traditions. In this book, we highlight
several distinctive characteristics of higher education in China,
including: the ancient roots and modern history, massive scale,
diversity, and centralized management and pragmatic trends.
"This collection makes a fascinating read. Each of the nine memoirs
is crafted with skill and honesty." --Dorothy Ko, professor of
history, Barnard College What does it mean to have grown up female
in the Mao era? How can the remembered details of everyday life
help shed light upon those turbulent times? Some of Us is a
collection of memoirs by nine Chinese women who grew up during the
Mao era and now live in the United States. Each of the chapters is
crafted by a writer who reflects back to that time in a more
nuanced manner than has been possible for Western observers. The
authors attend to gender in a way that male writers have barely
noticed; they also reflect on their lives in the United States. The
issues explored here are as varied as these women's lives. The
burgeoning rebellion of a young girl in northeast China. A girl's
struggles to obtain for herself the education her parents inspired
her to attain. An exploration of gender and identity as experienced
by two sisters. Some of Us offers insights into a place and time
when life was much more complex than Westerners have allowed. These
eloquent writings shatter our stereotypes of persecution,
repression, victims, and victimizers in Maoist China. Xueping Zhong
is an associate professor of literature at Tufts University. She in
the author of Masculinity Besieged?: Issues of Modernity and Male
Subjectivity in Late Twentieth-Century Chinese Literature. Wang
Zheng is an associate professor of women's studies at the
University of Michigan. She is the author of Women in the Chinese
Englightenment: Oral and Textual Histories. Bao Di is assistant
professor of Chinese at Drew University.
