Unique in its intergenerational approach to understanding
motherhood in China, this book sets out to study Chinese mothers’
experiences of childrearing, emphasising that gender is not
immutable and that motherhood is not isolated from other social
domains. The author adopts an historical and sociological design
with a case study approach to investigate three living generations
of women from 12 families of varied social-economic backgrounds in
China. By comparing three aspects of these mothers’ lives –
namely the growing-up experiences, mothering experiences and
intergenerational transmission between mothers and daughters –
this research provides an invaluable opportunity to ‘observe’
how changing structural elements shaped mothers’ varied
subjectivities similarly or differently. It also addresses the
continuities of the women’s experiences, highlighting the
gendered and devalued roles in childcare that existed across three
generations, reflecting the complex dynamic relationship between
women’s agency and China’s social structures. This is an
essential read for researchers, students, professionals and
practitioners in the fields of sociology of families, childhood and
education, gender studies, motherhood/parenthood studies, narrative
studies, social policy and development studies.

This book explores some of the most common mistakes made by
multinational companies doing business in China, in both cultural
and managerial contexts. These shared mistakes could be as
far-reaching as managing talent, local vs. global decision making,
or could be as mundane as managing title, pay and performance. Many
mistakes are rooted in a lack of understanding of the Chinese
market in two areas: the unique talent and culture environment, and
the immense opportunity potential. Very often, MNCs' global or
local leaders lack the ability to make discretional decisions with
one-size-fits-all approaches under the cloak of global consistency,
or treating a China operation as one-of-the outfits (and a small
one in the world revenue pool), even though they understand the
market potential in theory. MNCs have enjoyed great success in
China while many others have yet to realize their opportunities.
China business continues to grow, and opportunities continue to
develop. This book will guide business leaders on how to avoid the
most common management pitfalls in China business, and will help
the capitalize on the huge opportunity that remains in this region.

By incorporating recent achievements of music theorists, composers,
musicologists and ethnomusicologists, this monograph proposes a
multidimensional approach to the analysis of Chinese composers Chen
Yi's music for Western instruments. The analytical procedures are
informed by Richard Waterman's theory of syncretism and Peter
Chang's research on composers' reinterpretation of cultural
elements, which serve to explore Chen Yi's cultural and educational
background in relation to her composition. A set of factor proposed
by Elliott Schwartz and Daniel Godfrey are examined to discover
underlying organizational principles. The first two chapters
provide an overview of Western and non-Western composers'
approaches to cross- cultural fusion in general and Chinese
composers' approaches in particular. The subsequent four chapters
present detailed analyses of Chen Yi's nine work with an emphasis
on underlying organizational principles. The final chapter contains
a summary of Chen Yi's personal style, the evolution of her
concepts of stylistic fusion and related techniques, and evaluates
their significance with respect to successful fusion.
