Description

Explore how Chinese society has fundamentally transformed over the past three decades in this critical analysis from the LSE Monographs on Social Anthropology series. This Routledge publication examines the rise of individualism across both public and private spheres within modern China, a shift that has reshaped the nation's social fabric yet remains underexplored in academic literature. As China has become a major force in global politics and economics, understanding its unique path to individualization offers vital insights into alternative models of social transformation during globalisation. This volume is essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to comprehend how individual agency and personal identity have emerged as defining features of contemporary Chinese society, with implications that extend far beyond China to inform development trajectories across the developing world.

Key Features

The Individualization of Chinese Society examines three decades of profound social change within modern China through rigorous anthropological analysis.

Part of the LSE Monographs on Social Anthropology series (volume 93), providing peer-reviewed scholarly perspective on Chinese society.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in social sciences and anthropology research.

Explores alternative models of social transformation relevant to understanding globalisation and development in non-Western contexts.

Analyses the rise of individualism in both public and private spheres, addressing a significant gap in existing scholarship.
