Opis

This book considers how citizenship is practiced in China today: through case studies of internal migrant workers, contentious homeowners, ethnic minority young people, sex workers, and the work of NGOs. It focuses on three areas of tension apparent in these practices: sedentarism/mobility, authoritarianism/participation, and collectivity/individuality. This book was originally published as a Special Issue of the journal Citizenship Studies.
