With rapid commercialization, a booming urban economy, and the relaxation of state migration policies, over 100 million peasants, known as China’s “floating population,” have streamed into large cities seeking employment and a better life. This massive flow of rural migrants directly challenges Chinese socialist modes of state control.
This book traces the profound transformations of space, power relations, and social networks within a mobile population that has broken through the constraints of the government’s household registration system. The author explores this important social change through a detailed ethnographic account of the construction, destruction, and eventual reconstruction of the largest migrant community in Beijing. She focuses on the informal privatization of space and power in this community through analyzing the ways migrant leaders build their power base by controlling housing and market spaces and mobilizing social networks.
The author argues that to gain a deeper understanding of recent Chinese social and political transformations, one must examine not only to what extent state power still dominates everyday social life, but also how the aims and methods of late socialist governance change under new social and economic conditions. In revealing the complexities and uncertainties of the shifting power and social relations in post-Mao China, this book challenges the common notion that sees recent changes as an inevitable move toward liberal capitalism and democracy.
京津冀一体化正在被热议。但中国作为一个中央集权制的国家,一切经济资源和文化资源都是依靠于权力而进行分配的。从这个意义上出发,那些声称将被拆分和搬迁到外省的各大部委、国企央企总部以及大型企事业单位,在短时间内不可能被撼动。它们的背后牵扯了太多深厚的政经关系。...
评分前阵子微商拿自己当“徽商”后人的段子着实让人尴尬了一番。中国人是看重历史又轻慢历史的,改革时期,实利主义已经慢慢成为默认趋势,多少借花献佛和醉翁之意不在酒都是其在背后驱动。如果你觉得微商“没文化真可怕”,那蜚声国际的浙商,其实也同样并不多么更有文化。 "温州...
评分撰写推荐江苏人民出版社“海外中国研究”系列中《城市里的陌生人》一书的书评,是在今年五一假期前夕。众所周知,五一是劳动人民的节日,而《城市里的陌生人》里所讲述的,正是支撑起中国改革开放高速发展经济成果的劳动阶层,所不同的是,他们的工作场所都远离故乡,在千里之...
评分出乎我意料的有趣,本身涉及流动人口可谈可写的方面就太多,此书如书名所说,聚焦流动人口的生存空间和权利,以及二者相互关系。 尽管如今北京的燕郊已经十分繁华,房地产十年长盛不衰。“流动人口”也不再是小商贩,农民工的同义词——近年一线城市滞纳了越来越多受过高等教...

评分扎实的田野调查,记录了上世纪末京郊“浙江村”的兴衰,与其说是一个社群的发展史,不如说是国家的市场化进程在城市治理层面的微观呈现。不同层级政府之间的利益不一致,经济和社会关系的相互纠缠,再到舆论导向对一个群体的塑造,以及性别差距在富裕的过程中进一步扩大,都涵盖在作者细腻的观察和富有条理的讲述中。

评分简洁,明确,细腻。博士论文的范本。说句题外话:Zhang Li和Xiang Biao之间一直保持着积极的交流,后者还是带领前者进入浙江村的关键向导,总有一些豆瓣上的2B非要在这两个人中间比出一个高下来,长点儿心吧山炮……
