About this title

Synopsis

Sollinger (political science, U. of California at Irvine) shifts the narrative of Chinese economic reform from the macro-societal level to the individual, presenting seven case studies of how economic and political change has been experienced in the life stories of seven people representing a mixture of gender, locale, ethnicity, and occupation. Included are the stories of a female migrant to Beijing, a male itinerant home renovator in Beijing, a male local village secretary from Giuzhou province, a male ethnic minority entrepreneur, a female Beijing native who works for the families of foreigners, a male former state worker, and a female urban worker in the Central China city of Wuhan.
