Feminist Explorations of Urban China
Routledge (Verlag)
9781032731964 (ISBN)
Analyzing a range of feminist perspectives, and empirically based feminist research, this book investigates the ways in which national policies and campaigns imposed under the discursive political framing of the New Era seep into the everyday lives of people, influencing how societies are transformed and how urban spaces, gendered social practices, lived experiences, and subjectivities are being (re)shaped and modified. Through explorations of these aspects of the New Era, this book reveals the new challenges and possibilities faced by different gendered social groups in contemporary Chinese society.
Providing rich deliberations on gender topics related to urban developments in China’s New Era, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of China studies, gender and women’s studies, and urban studies.
