| book description |

In Becoming Citizens in China, Shi Yunqing describes the two interlinked histories that have made China's urban and economic miracle: the unfolding process of inner city renewal and the production of citizens shaped by the collective rights defence actions in response to demolition and resettlement projects. Shi reveals a complex problematic tension between the state and the individual during China's social transition. This book is rigorously researched and draws on a rich body of materials. In this approach to State-Individual relationship, Shi Yunqing convincingly shows how citizens are produced in urban social movements against the backdrop of differences between Chinese and Western development histories. The production of citizens in Chinese-style produces insightful local knowledge and contributes to a new global sociology in general and the Post-Western sociology in particular. __________ , : , , - , , , ,
