Myth of the Social Volcano: Perceptions of Inequality and Distributive Injustice in Contemporary China
ISBN: 9780804769426 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is popular anger about rising inequality propelling China toward a "social volcano" of protest activity and instability that could challenge Chinese Communist Party rule? Many inside and outside of China have speculated, without evidence, that the answer is yes. In 2004, Harvard sociologist Martin King Whyte has undertaken the first systematic, nationwide survey of ordinary Chinese citizens to ask them directly how they feel about inequalities that have resulted since China's market opening in 1978. His findings are the subject of this book.

ISBN: 9780691639895 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How does the status of women in different cultures actually compare with that of men?

One Country, Two Societies: Rural-Urban Inequality in Contemporary China
ISBN: 9780674036321 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This timely and important collection of original essays analyzes China's foremost social cleavage: the rural-urban gap. It is now clear that the Chinese communist revolution, though professing dedication to an egalitarian society, in practice created a rural order akin to serfdom, in which 80 percent of the population was effectively bound to the land. China is still struggling with that legacy. The reforms of 1978 changed basic aspects of economic and social life in China's villages and cities and altered the nature of the rural-urban relationship. But some important institutions and...

Village and Family in Contemporary China
ISBN: 9780226645919 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. After 1949 the Chinese Communists carried out land reform, the collectivization of agriculture, and the formation of people's communes. The new economic and political organizations that emerged have made peasant life more comfortable and secure, but many economic and status differentials and traditional customs remain resistant to change. Focusing on rural Kwangtung province, William L. Parish and Martin King Whyte examine the rural work-incentive system, village equality and inequality, rural health care and education, marriage customs, and the position of women, among other topics, to...

Urban Life in Contemporary China
ISBN: 9780226895499 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 415 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Through interviews with city residents, Martin King Whyte and William L. Parish provide a unique survey of urban life in the last decade of Mao Zedong's rule. They conclude that changes in society produced under communism were truly revolutionary and that, in the decade under scrutiny, the Chinese avoided ostensibly universal evils of urbanism with considerable success. At the same time, however, they find that this successful effort spawned new and equally serious urban problems bureaucratic rigidity, low production, and more."
