China Urban by Nancy N Chen
Offers an account of China's cities and the place that urban space holds in China's imagination. This book emphasises the need to rethink the very meaning of the urban and the utility of urban-focused anthropological critiques during a period of unprecedented change on local, regional, national, and global levels.
“China Urban brings together some of the best new ethnographic work on the changing dynamics of time, space, and place in 1990s ChinaThese essays take the reader into a wide range of localities, but always with an eye turned toward larger national and global transformations. China Urban also speaks to a wide range of debates in contemporary
social and political theory, and it offers an innovative approach to the study of the urban in postsocialist China and elswhere. This volume is long overdue.”-Ralph Litzinger, author of Other Chinas: The Yao and the Politics of National Belonging “For readers interested in the intersections of space, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity, this book has a wealth of insights to ponder. And for those interested in the complexity, vibrancy, and challenges of today’s urban and urbanizing China, this book’s the ticket.”-Greg Guldin, author of What’s a Peasant to Do? Village Becoming Town in Southern China
