Description

This book shows how department stores and marketplaces in China have become important sites where Chinese people understand, and perform, unequal social relations. Review A pure pleasure to read, Hanser's ethnography probes the little-known world of retail clerks in post-socialist China. An important, contemporary contribution to the eternal questions about inequality and stratification that remain at the core of sociological research, this book will be an ethnographic classic.--Deborah Davis "Yale University" Hanser presents a detailed, refreshing ethnographic account of three radically different retail settings and practices, skillfully tracing the shifting symbolic boundaries of class, gender, and service in urban China.--Li Zhang "University of California, Davis" Hanser provides a vivid account of the everyday implications of Post-Mao era economic reforms and how boundaries of class and gender are both articulated and made permeable. Her concise and careful use of social theory makes it a useful introduction to practices of class and gender distinction.-- Intersections: Gender and Sexuality in Asia and the Pacific About the Author Amy Hanser is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
