Opis

This book explores young people's experiences of, and views on, dating, gender, sexuality, sexual hegemony and violence within dating relationships. Based on interviews and focus groups conducted in Beijing over a long period, and focusing especially on dating violence, the book reveals insights on a wide range of issues of gender and sexuality in contemporary China. It shows how young Chinese people's attitudes and behaviors are changing as urban China develops rapidly, and how their experience of dating violence and meaning-making process are affected by age, gender, location and class.
