Feeding China's Little Emperors by Jun Jing

Feeding China's Little Emperors by Jun Jing

This book focuses on how the transformation of the food habits of Chinese children-involving snack foods, soft drinks, and fast foods from such Western outlets as McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken-has changed the intimate relationship of childhood, parenthood, and family life.

"Jun Jing's edited volume is an important step forward on a controversial subject—only children in China's one-child families—that has often generated more heat than light. . . There are no weak chapters. . . . [James L.] Watson is correct in concluding that the book may be unique because it attempts to track a profound historical transformation in social attitudes toward children during the early stages of that transformation."—Pacific Affairs
"A rich description of cultural and dietary change in action, pointing to possibilities in research as well as the future of health studies in China."—Nutritional Anthropology

Jun Jing is Assistant Professor of Social Anthropology at the City University of New York. He is the author of The Temple of Memories: History, Power, and Morality in a Chinese Village (Stanford, 1996).
