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
