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.

评分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。...

评分花了三天在写论文前集中读完了这本书,想起了2018年的低端人口。
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。
评分佩服佩服
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……
