- catalog abstract ""Understanding Chinese Society looks at the society with the largest population on earth. In order to explore long-term change and continuity, the book examines China from pre-revolutionary times to today's rapidly modernizing society, with the main focus on recent developments. Particular attention is paid to attempts to transform China's cultural traditions and hierarchical relationships, and to their fate in the modern world. Successive chapters investigate changes in the relations of rural and urban sectors of society; in the structure of families; in political and economic power; in cultural hegemony, education and the media; and in patterns of social inequality. A final chapter asks whether Chinese society is becoming more complex and differentiated in the course of modernization and considers recent debates on the growth of civil society and democratization." "This book will be indispensable for anyone studying Chinese society, Asian societies and comparative sociology."--Jacket.".
