Description

Chinese Kinship offers a comprehensive collection of contemporary anthropological essays examining kinship systems across Chinese societies, from late imperial times to modern Taiwan and mainland China. The volume explores how larger socio-cultural and politico-economic processes shape intimate relations, family structures, reproductive strategies, and gender dynamics. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork from both northern and southern regions, including rural and urban settings, this Routledge publication provides critical insights into the historical complexity and modern transformations of Chinese kinship. Scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, and Asian studies will find valuable theoretical frameworks and empirical research that illuminate the connections between kinship practices and broader social change in contemporary Chinese communities.

Key Features

Chinese Kinship combines ethnographic material from the late imperial period through contemporary Taiwan and the People's Republic of China.

This Routledge Contemporary China Series volume addresses how socio-cultural and politico-economic processes shape family structures and intimate relations.

The collection examines gender relations, reproductive strategies, and family histories across diverse Chinese regions and time periods.

Essays integrate ethnographic research from both rural and urban areas, offering nuanced perspectives on kinship transformations in modern China.
